<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Walking in the dark in a hotel room, I tripped over a bag on the floor and fell face first right side onto the top edge of the dresser. It did not cause any dizziness or unconsciousness. Over the next week, I developed bruising on the lower portion of my face. I assume gravity was pulling blood down to that location. I did develop a lump below the right cheekbone, about 1 inch from my nose and about 1 long, 14 to possibly 12 thickness. It has been 2 12 weeks and doesn t seem to be changing. Is this something I should have checked out by my doctor or might it clear up on its own over time?  <response>: Hellos per the description of your clinical symptoms it seems that you have developed a bruise due to the traumatic injury. The injury has caused extravasation of blood into the injured area, but as a rule of gravity the blood collects in the dependent part. This in turn gives a bluish discoloration to the area. Any swelling at the site with bluish discoloration may signify a hematoma. Management would have been ice compression initial followed by local application of some thrombolytic gel Thrombophob gelBruise is usually self limiting and resolves automatically, but a hematoma if complicated large size, infected or formed abscess may need surgical intervention. Please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management. Thank you.
