Can A Lump On Head Be Callus Type Tissue Damage?
Several years ago my son, 2 1/2 yrs old, was at the park w/ grandpa and fell and hit his forehead (glabella area) on a step. There was a small indent that quickly swelled and no signs of brain injury but 3 years later there is STILL a squishy lump at the impact site that s very noticeable when he makes certain facial expressions (raising eyebrows) Ped doesn t seem concerned. Says it s likely a callus type tissue damage. Should I be concerned and can expect it to ever go away..?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Well, this is not a calosity for sure.
This can be a organized hematoma, post-traumatic. And seen only on frowning as it must be attached to the muscles called frontalis, which works when we gaze-up.
Get this checked by a Pediatric Surgeon, investigated and see if this can be removed now as it has been there for one and half years and not expected to go way.
