How Can A Head Lump With Indentation Be Treated?

My son fell backward and hit his head on a concrete corner two days ago. he seemed fine..he cried a lot and seemed to have a lump but not much of one. today is Friday and it seems like there is a dent that runs in a line across the back of his head around where he hit it..should I be concerned?

Hello,

He may be fine, but a doctor needs to check this out, and I would get skull x-rays to be sure he doesn't have a skull fracture.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ralph Chambers
