A lump on the forehead of a 1-year-old baby may be a subcutaneous hematoma, subcapillary hemorrhage, subperiosteal hematoma, or skull fracture, which can be intervened with general treatment, medication, surgery, and other measures.
1. Subcutaneous hematoma: Simple subcutaneous hematomas in children usually do not require special intervention, only the skin surface abrasions need to be sterilized, and if necessary, sterile gauze can be used for bandaging. Cold compresses can also be applied early in the injury to reduce bleeding and relieve pain.
2. Subcapsular tendon membrane hematoma and subperiosteal hematoma: For smaller hematoma, general treatment measures such as cold compresses and pressure bandages can gradually recover; if the bleeding increases progressively, treatment such as hematoma aspiration can be added. For children, hematoma aspiration may cause anemia, hypotensive shock, etc., and may require intravenous rehydration, transfusion of blood components and other treatments.
3. Skull fracture: Simple skull fracture can usually heal on its own, during which attention must be paid to protecting the wound to avoid secondary injury, and other treatments for painful subcutaneous hematoma; if a more serious depressed fracture is found after CT diagnosis, surgical treatment, such as depressed skull fracture resurfacing, may be needed.
Children after trauma lumps, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, drugs need to be used under the guidance of clinicians.
