Hi,

From you history it seems that your hemetoma will take 2 weeks more to get subside, but you need to have regular follow up with your doctor. Because hemetoma at this region usually get infected.

I hope you have got your answer.

If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer 5 points for me, so that I get a good feedback.
