Can Sutures On The Bridge Of The Nose Causes Numbness On Eyebrow And Lump?
About 2 1/2 wks ago I wiped out face first onto concrete. I broke my nose, had 2 sutures on the bridge of my nose, road rash up the middle of my face and a large bruise and swelling on my middle of my forehead that looks like it was coming up from my nose. The skin has healed nicely, and the nose is feeling better every day. But I still have tightness/numbness between my eyes if I try to raise my eyebrows and the swelling on my forehead is now a small but very visible lump but not painful to the touch. What could this be? Do I just need more time to heal?

Hello,
Yes it will take few days more to heal .
I hope you have had an examination after the trauma to see for any fracture on the forehead.
NOw you should take a course of antibiotic as the small hematoma could get infected and so prophylactically you need to take antibiotics .
secondly to decrease its size you need to take anti inflammatory enzymes which will help in healing faster and help in decreasing the size faster.
In doubt do reply
