Hello. Thanks for writing to us. After a hematoma, a mild superficial skin numbness is a normal finding. This usually recovers on its own without any specific treatment. Please do not worry. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
