A member asked:
A vacume was used on my newborn baby during natural delivery. this has left a small pocket of fluid between the scull and skin how long to disappear?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually two to three: 2-3 weeks. This usually not serious, vbut the cosmetic nature causes concern! not uncommon after pregancy and delivery with vacuum apparatus. Children (ie. Infants) heal quickly.
