How Can The Sore Prominent Ridge On The Cheek Bone Be Reduced?
Hi, I was hit very hard in the face, by a football, almost two weeks ago. I had a black eye which has almost disapeared but on my cheek bone, there is a prominent ridge, around half a centimetre thick and 3 centimetres long, which is very sore and doesn t seem to be going down.. Is this normal? Thanks
