Suggest Treatment For Persistent Bleeding Caused By An Injury
Question: Dear Doctor,
I hit my head just above the eye on my eyebrow, it opened up and bled. In the morning all around my eye and below my eye was black and swollen pockets of blood above and below my eye. That was a few days ago and the blood is still moving further down. I am on blood thinners.
Is there anything I can do to help speed up the recovery?
Thanking you,
