Anytime a baby, toddler or child hits their head, you should have them checked by a doc, no matter how small you think it is. Good luck.

My toddler had a run in with a coffee table corner. She developed the same sort of thing - doctor said it was a calcification on the bone from the injury. She had it for at least 1 year, and then I stopped feeling for it. She's 7 now ;)

When in doubt call the doctor, but I suspect it is harmless.

PS - I couldn't see it, just feel it. She had a lump and a bruise for weeks after it happened initially, and the little lump remained invisibly, hard like bone right in the center of the bruise where the corner hit her.

Isaac had a bump like that on his head from being born (even though he was a c-section, go figure)

Anyway, one of the doctors we saw at a walk in clinic for something else entirely called it a "calcified hematoma" (hematoma is basically a fancy word for bruise!) Told me her daughter had had one just like it and it would go away in about a year. It went away-- VERY slowly, but it was gone by the time he was a year old.
