Suggest Treatment For Bump On Forehead Caused After A Head Injury
Question: I hit my head while changing the oil in my truck nearly 2 months now and I have a pea size bump on my forhead that is not going away?
Brief Answer:
Calcified hematoma
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I went through your query and understood your concerns.
Your symptoms are in favour of hematoma which is not resolving. During trauma to head blood would have collected beneath the skin, in many cases it slowly resolves over 2 to 3 months and swelling disappears. In few patients calcium deposition takes place resulting in hard mass which doesn't resolve. Which needs to be removed surgically by giving local anaesthesia.
Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.
Wish you a good health.
Regards
