A member asked:
My son 3 years old fell at the park today on concrete. he has a large bump that's very boggy. is boggyness a bad sign?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: The bogginess usually represents a buildup of a blood pocket within the layers or underneath the scalp next to the skull.It does not represent an extension past the skull into the brain unless you can feel a step off in the skull bone itself.When this happens there will be other symptomss of a head injury like vomiting or loss of conciousness.
