Message:

A cephalohematoma is a fancy word for a type of bruise, that is, bleeding under the scalp and outside the skull. It will take a while for the bruise to go away, as it does for any bruise, but they are not a problem. The study discussed in this thread is about bleeding inside the skull, which in the wrong place and in sufficient quantity--although not in the study under discussion--can be serious.
