hi can someone please help me, I was getting into the bath with my daughter tonight at 8pm & I fell, banged my head first my whole weight went with my body I hit my head first, and I quickly got out the bath and looked at my head its on my forehead now it's a little bump but when you push on it it's soft and dented???
The lump formation after fall is due to accumulation of fluid & blood and it is called Hematoma. The blood cells accumulated are eventually broken down and absorbed in the body. But this is a slow process & takes times to disappear completely. Till that time, symptomatic relief is obtained by taking analgesics, ice compression & adequate rest.
If it still persists or there are any other associated symptoms like fever, vomiting, visual disturbance, loss of consciousness, convulsions, etc...then it will be better to consult your Doctor. Under such circumstances, a CT scan of brain will be needed to rule out any pathological cause for symptoms.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
