Question
A one-and-a-half-year-old baby had a head injury on the forehead a month ago, which resulted in a large bulge. The swelling has not subsided, and the baby has been injured again, leaving a bloodstain. After the wound has healed and the swelling has gone down, the bulge seems to have disappeared on the surface, but there is still a hard lump when touched. Can this hard lump fully recover?
Answer
For the hard lump that appears again after scraping, it can gradually soften. If there is skin breakage after scraping, and the wound feels firm upon gentle pressure after healing, it may be due to scar fibrosis. It is recommended to apply scar gel locally and perform cold compresses to observe if the lump will soften over time. Hope this helps, and wish you good health!
