My 9 yr old daughter fell off an inflatable slide and hit her cheek on pavement- it was bruised for a while but about a month after I noticed a dimple in her cheek where it happened and a rock hard lump that doesnt move- another month later its still there- we go to dr on wedn. But I guess I am just wondering if I should be worried?
Hello, I have studied your case, Due to blunt injury there can be hematoma collection. The bleeding that occurs result in hematoma collection. Over a period of time, as hematoma resolves it cause local skin symptoms around the hematoma. Continue ice application, and thrombhophobe ointment may help and take rest. If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery. Take precaution to avoid infection around hematoma. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
