A bump on the newborn's head

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Consider your baby's right-sided sac as a caput succedaneum. When a newborn is born, a tumor-like swelling on the left or right side of the head, or at the back, is called a caput succedaneum. Caput succedaneum usually disappears on its own within a few days after birth and does not require treatment.
