Question 1

hi! i have a bump on my forehead under the skin which has gotten harder but the swelling around it has travelled under my eyes making it uncomfortable?

Accepted Answer

Infection.: The fact that it is traveling down  suggests that this is a spreading infection.  Need to contact doctor promptly.

Question 2

how can i treat a head bump that has lasted for a month now since i hit my forehead?

Accepted Answer

: The head bump would go down by itself, and not much would change it now. You could try warm compress. The bump is because of bleed, because lots of blood vessels on the head, and the body has deployed cells to the area to remodel but it would take some time for you to see the changes.

Question 3

my baby is 1 month and two weeks. i noticed she has a bump in the middle of her forehead, like a small hill. she hasn't any head injuries, what is it?

Accepted Answer

May be suture: The main suture line for most kids forms a T with the ear to ear line in back of the forehead and the middle one from the soft spot along the center toward the back.Some have a prominent suture line from the front of the soft spot running down between the eyes. A ridge in the forehead like a boat keel can be a transient feature in some kids.Confirm this with your doc.They usually grow out of it.

Question 4

what could these skin colored bumps on my forehead be?

Accepted Answer

Several things: This is a problem that necessitates a face-to-face meeting with your doctor.  This will allow him/her to examine you, ask specific questions. And possibly order tests to find out what's wrong and what to do to help you.

Question 5

is it normal for toddler to have small size hard bump under skin on forehead months after a fall? doesn't bother him.

Accepted Answer

Toddler fall: If medically cleared after the fall & has not complained of any symptoms. No worry.

Question 6

i hit my forehead with the edge of a column and now when i touch the bump i also feel it on the crown of my head. is this worthy of worry?

Accepted Answer

Bump on head: Most likely there is nothing to worry about but sometimes after severe trauma to the head bleeding can occur around or even in the brain.  You should seek medical attention if you develop severe headache,  disorientation, loss of balance, vomiting, memory loss, seizure, or temporary loss of consciousness.

Question 7

my daughter bumped her head quite hard about a day ago. she has a big bump on her forehead but otherwise she seems fine. should i take her for scans?

Accepted Answer

Not for a bump: A head trauma that does not result in loss of consciousness, memory defect, repeated vomiting or personality change is considered minimal. Chances of a scan finding anything of value are miniscule. Bumps on the forehead are usually from broken blood vessels under the skin that stop and heal over time. The radiation exposure and cost would not be a good investment.

Question 8

what could these bumps on forehead skin be that's not acne?

Accepted Answer

Contact dermatitis: Your skin may have come into contact with a substance to which an allergic reaction took place. It could have been a hat, a facial product, a hair product, or something that your hand contacted first, and then the forehead. There is also the possibility of a viral infection or shingles outbreak. It is best you get properly examined for adequate diagnosis and treatment.

Question 9

what are these skin-colored bumps on nose and forehead?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: This can't be diagnosed with the information that is available. A history, physical examination &amp; other studies may be needed to determine cause/causes. Once accurately assessed a treatment plan can be developed.

Question 10

11 month girl bumped head front forehead, and the bump swelled like an "egg".  what to watch for?

Accepted Answer

Neurological signs: Most head bumps in children are benign and they recover without problems.  Parents should watch for unusual behavior, decreasing level of consciousness, vomiting or seizures.  The size of the "goose-egg" is not usually related to internal brain injury.
