What s the deal with a raised bump on the baby s head? Does it matter?

One condition is a head hematoma, clinically called subperiosteal hemorrhage in the skull, which is caused by the rupture of subperiosteal blood vessels during normal delivery. Compression of the birth canal during delivery can cause your baby's skull to overlap, potentially causing bleeding. Generally, the amount of bleeding is not large, because the space between the periosteum and the skull is limited, and the blood vessels will be compressed after bleeding to achieve hemostasis.

There is also a condition of scalp edema, also known as neoplasia and pioneer head, which is caused by the long process of normal delivery, which leads to edema in the soft tissues of the head exposed first. Whether it is edema or hematoma, there is no need for **, wait for the baby to absorb it on its own, generally the doctor will check after the newborn is delivered, and there are special circumstances that will be raised. My Xiaobao was born with a very swollen hematoma, which flattened after about 1 month.

If the blockbuster may take longer.

Don't be nervous about the bulging things you said, whether they are soft and will beat, this is normal, and slowly the baby will close when he is older.

A child born naturally will pass through the birth canal during childbirth, and will squeeze the baby's head, and it will be fine when the baby grows up.

Hello parents, scalp hematomas are divided into several types: subcutaneous hematoma, subcapular aponeurosic hematoma, subperiosteal hematoma (the most common), your baby should be a subperiosteal hematoma. My son had a spontaneous birth and also had a tumor.

Tumors usually occur on the roof of the newborn's head and vary in size. My son's tumor is about 6*8. Generally, smaller tumors will be absorbed on their own in about a week and do not need to be treated.

Larger tumors may have slow resorption, accumulation, etc. It took more than a month for my son's birth tumor to regress.

<> cephalic hematoma, also known as subperiosteal hematoma, is often located on one or both sides of the parietal bone, local ** is not swollen, does not change color, due to the slow subperiosteal hemorrhage, the hematoma is mostly obvious in a few hours after birth or 2 or 3 days after birth, reaches the maximum range one week after birth, and gradually absorbs and becomes smaller. When the fetus is rapidly forced out of the birth canal, the fetal head is suddenly released under high pressure, which causes the subperiosteal blood vessels of the skull to rupture and bleed, and blood accumulates locally to form a hematoma; In addition, cephalic hematoma can sometimes occur with negative pressure aspiration of the fetal head.

Within a few hours to the first few days after the birth of the newborn, some babies can see a lump on the top side of the head or occasionally on both sides of the head, the lump increases rapidly, the lump texture is softer, and the child does not cry when gently pressed, and it does not seem to be painful; The lump did not shrink after two days. First of all, don't panic, it is recommended to go to the pediatric department of a regular hospital to diagnose whether there is cerebral hemorrhage, if it is determined that it is only a scalp hematoma and no brain problems, it is relatively simple. Generally, the neonatal small lump hematoma will gradually shrink in the early stage, and the cold compress in the early stage and the hot compress in the later stage will disappear on its own in about a week.

Cerebral hematoma and subcap aponeurosic hemorrhage are neonatal traumatic hemorrhages, which are caused by fetal head compression, traction, and instrumental delivery in the birth canal. Cranial hematoma can be absorbed by itself, no special **, when more bleeding causes anemia, an appropriate amount of blood transfusion; When hyperbilirubinemia is caused, phototherapy is indicated. After some newborns are born, the head can touch a bulging "bag", which is due to the squeezing of the newborn's head through the mother's birth canal, and the local blood circulation is blocked, resulting in subcutaneous edema of the head through the birth canal first.

The head of the baby is called the halogen, he himself has a growth and healing period, his growth will increase with age, the increase of the age of the month will gradually heal, if it is not a long-term child long-term crying or abnormality, the child's nutrition to keep up, this is common do not worry.

It may be a birth tumor caused by the pressure of the uterus on the fetal head. It is also possible that the child's skull has been squeezed as it passes through the birth canal, causing a mass in the skull hematoma.

The main reason is that when the baby is born, the head is squeezed in the birth canal and there is a lump or a hematoma, which will generally dissipate on its own two weeks after death, if the hematoma can not dissipate, it needs to be **.

There are many reasons for a lump on a child's head, and there are also some reasons for mosquito bites. It is knocked to the touch, so we have to rule out some external factors, and then determine the lump on the child's head, if the lump on the child's head is also relatively long, if it does not go down, then it is also necessary to go to the hospital for further examination.

1. It may be a common traumatic injury.

For very young children, they are also very active, it is possible that they have touched or fallen on their own, which is possible, so that there will be this manifestation of local swelling.

Second, it may also be common folliculitis.

If there is such redness and swelling, you may also need to go to the hospital to see if you take some ointment home to apply it.

3. It may also be a mosquito bite.

In the summer, there are also some mosquitoes, it is very toxic, if it is bitten by mosquitoes, it will also be accompanied by a hard pack, which will be accompanied by itching, so you can also use some ointment to apply it.

Therefore, when we take the child, we still have to pay attention to the child's every move, so if we find that the child is abnormal, we should also take it to the hospital for examination in time, so that we can rest assured that there are many kinds of problems with the child's body, so we also have to determine how the wound or condition in this place occurs according to the child's condition.

So when we take care of the child, we also need to spend some thought, if their child is uncomfortable, and they are not sure, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up, so that it will be reassuring, so that the baby's health is also guaranteed, so we also need to observe any state of the child, so that we can also seek medical attention in time.

It may be that the child accidentally hit the wall or hit the sofa, so there will be a lump, if you are not at ease, you can also take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination, there should be nothing wrong.

It is likely to be caused by folliculitis, so be sure to go to the hospital for an examination and see the results of the examination.

There should be some problems, it may be a tumor, so you must take the baby to the hospital in time to check it and see what is on the head.

Newborn babies have a mass on their head, which can occur in two ways: a birth tumor or a head hematoma.

Birth tumor, also known as pioneer head, is caused by the fetus in the process of delivery, the head by the birth canal squeezed and local edema under the scalp, mostly in the first birth of the most obvious, after gradually becoming smaller, 1 2 days will disappear naturally, no more than five days at the latest, no need to **.

Cerebral hematoma is caused by the fetus being delivered by friction and squeezing between the top of the skull and the mother's pelvis, or the use of forceps or fetal suction due to the difficulty of delivery, resulting in rupture and bleeding of the subperiosteal blood vessels in the skull, and blood stasis accumulates under the periosteum to become a hematoma. Babies often have an unknown head mass when they are born, and the head mass gradually increases after a few hours or 1 2 days, and then slowly absorbs and shrinks, generally within 2 weeks to 3 months of natural absorption, during this period, only pay attention to protect the mass and the surrounding **, when bathing the child, the action should be gentle, avoid collision and friction, can not break it, and do not puncture and aspirate, so as to avoid secondary infection. If a child has hematomas in multiple places on the head, it is necessary to consider whether there is a skull fracture; If the child has drowsiness, does not eat or cry, has poor reaction, paleness, or screaming, etc., it is necessary to be alert to intracranial hemorrhage, and the child should be taken to the hospital in time for cranial ultrasound or cranial CT examination, so as to take the best measures in time.
