Will Bump On The Forehead Due To Getting Hit Go In A Few Days/

I have a 14 month who fell and but the corner of a piece of wooden furniture at first it indented for a minute then got a Gooose egg. It was his left part of his foreheadHe cried a little and then was fine no neurological symptoms. This was three weeks ago. It turned Purple then yellow and never broke the skin. However I still feel a small bump under the skin and when he smiles there is a small dimple. Will this go away. Should I worry

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
The mark will definitely go away.
Children have got good healing capacity and the scars undergo remodeling.
Also there could be residual hematoma which may take a somewhat longer time to get absorbed.
Take care

Best Regards
