Does A Black Eye Take Long To Heal Completely?

three weeks ago I fell off a bike and landed on my face, to be more exact, my left eye. Got a very large contusion and it was swollen shut for a couple of days. it got a lot better in time except for a bump that s still kinda black under the eyebrow. The doctors that saw me after the incident said there was nothing to worry about but I feel it s taking way too long

Hi
I had gone through the question and understand your concern
A black eye aor racoon eye usually takes 4-6 weeks to heal completely.
Also.your doctor was right , there is nothing to be worried about as it will heal on its own without leaving any marka.
Hope this was of help
Thankyou
