A member asked:

My 6 week old baby has a bulge on the left side of his head?

Hard to assess: The lack of detail in your description makes this hard to assess. Sometimes these are blood collections under the scalp that accumulate after a vaginal birth. They can be self healing if so, but can also represent a crack in the skull or an abnormality of the suture lines with premature closure. I would have the kids doc evaluate the issue.
