A. This lump should get smaller and go away in a few weeks or months without treatment. Your child's doctor will keep an eye on the bump at your baby's newborn visits. cephalohematoma is an accumulation of blood under the scalp, specifically in the sub-periosteal space. During the birthing process, shearing forces on the skull and scalp result in the separation of the periosteum from the underlying calvarium resulting in the subsequent rupture of blood vessels.
