Is Indentation On Cheek Of An Infant With Hard Mass Inside Cheek After A Fall Serious?
our one month old fell against a furniture edge about 2 weeks ago, A linear bruise came up on his face which is almost gone now. However he has an indentation on his cheek fat and we can feel a hard mass inside his cheek fat - will this sort itself or what should we look at doing?

Hi,
By what you say I feel that this could be a capillary hemangioma of the cheek. Skin conditions are always best diagnosed and treated after seeing them directly.
May I suggest that you upload some images here so that we can see and guide you better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
