Does A Soft Indentation On The Head Post Injury Need Medical Attention?
Question: Hi I had the corner of about a 25 pound steel plate drop on my head it was bleeding pretty good, now two weeks later I have a soft indentation where it hit me should I get checked?
Brief Answer:
It would still be a good idea to get yourself evaluated.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
The main concerns of the injury is whether it has caused internal bleeding in and around the brain. But had that occurred, it is unlikely to have gone without presentation till now. However, there is no doubt that soft tissue injury had occurred and that is likely to have led to the soft indentation. It would still be a good idea to get yourself evaluated.
Regards
