Head of my baby got red
Yesterday night by mistake I put my baby (2 months baby )head on mosquito net (kids) with iron rod while I was changing her clothes (approx 5-7minute)
She was crying but I thought she got irritated because of I was changing her clothes.
She started crying very hard .When I saw her head it got red.She was not letting me touch there.
After few minutes she stopped crying..she is drinking my milk also.
In morning today she is letting me touch there...when I am touching she is not crying anymore.she is perfectly drinking milk...
Still I am too worried...Kindly suggest me is there anything to worry...(I am attaching photo of her head )

As she is active and taking feeds, there appears to be no major injury. It is a superficial wound. Please visit a pediatrician for prescription of pain killer drops and check up
