How To Get Rid Off The Lump After Got Hurt Above The Left Eye?

I fell down three steps to the garage on Feb 20th,and fell on my face, hitting the left side of my forehead, just above my left eye, on the hard cement floor. I was not able to save my face with my hands as I was carrying a basket .I went to a hospital emergency dept., and was given a C.T. scan. There was no bleeding or other problems internally. The lump was as large as a ducks egg...and now it is about the size of a pigeon s egg. there are still black marks under my left eye , as the veins continue to clear out the blood. How can I help this process to speed up ?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

With your history this seems to be a resolving hematoma in the subcutaneous tissues of the area. As the hematoma was large enough initially, it might take more time for the blood to get absorbed gradually. You can apply a pressure bandage over it if need be. However, it would take its own time unless it has got organised. In that case it might have to be evacuated by a small incision under local anaesthesia. You have to take the opinion of a general surgeon in that case.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in planning your treatment. Thanks for using the health care magic forum for your query on health. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
