hi, my nine month old son suffered a skull fracture a week before. Blood on his back of head has come out and we felt it like a bag of fluid. Doctor told us it is blood and will be reabsorbed by the body. His swelling is reducing these days but he is itching for last 2 days. Is it due to healing of head or what can cause it? Please let me know if this needs urgent attention. Thanks.
HAI I'm Chat Doctor.  On seeing your history it should be either a subdural or subarea hematoma. For both conditions the management is conservative only. Itching is a good sign, and as you said it indicates healing. It will settle down completely in a week or two. Follow up with a CT scan if your doc advises. Take care.
