My 17 months old banged his forehead on stairs today. There is little bump like thing in his forehead. On pressing my finger against the bump the skin is going inside. He was awake for 2hours then he is now napping . Is the bump normal?

Hi Rampriya ,

If in any doubt or have any concerns with a head injury, please seek some medical advice.

111 are really good and can go through a series of questions to triage your little one over the telephone and advise you appropriately on how to help, signs and symptoms to look out for and whether any further medical investigation is required.

Also, have a little look at: nhs.uk/conditions/minor-hea... but if in any doubt or for reassurance, please contact 111.

I hope that helps
