Will The Flat Spot With A Lump And Hardness Heal By Itself?

Hi my son had a nasty fall 3 weeks ago, I brought him straight to the hospital and he was given the all clear. Hes 8 half months old and he still has signs of a bruise, im worried as he seams to have a flat spot wear he landed and lump under it about half a centremetre and its hard. Will it go down or should I see his doctor about it?

Hi...this seems like a healing hematoma which is healing itself. You need not worry at all. This is a natural process of healing. It will go down by itself and you need not see a doctor for it as he is normal and playing around and his usual self.
