have a small lump over my right eyebrow after an assault ( my head was pushed against a wall ). The area is sore & i have dull headache. This occured about 3 days ago. do not appear to have any serious symptoms though .... do i need to get it checked out or should i wait to see if the problem goes awayage 39, height 5ft8, no significant medical history
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. This seems to be a hematoma. Due to trauma, there is small bleeding under the skin, which forms a clot called as hematoma. Nothing is to be done as it resorts spontaneously. Do you have fever? As this suggests presence of infection, antibiotics should be started with your doctors advise. Simple painkillers like diclofenac with serratiopeptidase can be taken after consultation. Hope this information is useful to you. Wish you a good health. Thanks. Regards.
