Patient's question:

Baby is 8 months old
During the postpartum period, a small nodule the size of a peanut was found under the scalp on the right back of the head
It can be moved when pressed
The baby showed no signs of pain when pressed
The scalp can be clearly seen to be swollen

Doctor's answer:

When a subgaleal hematoma is organized, it will gradually assume a shape with age, generally having no significant impact on health. It is best to check via ultrasound whether there is still blood in the hematoma, and it should be drained. The swelling subsides over several months. Applying heat can promote absorption.
