Is The Lump On Forehead After An Injury Likely To Remain Permanent?
on january 17th i got hit in the face my eye closed up and i had a lump golf ball size on the side of my forehead, the black eye went away the lump went down but it went down to the size of a dime. its soft but it looks like a bump and sometimes i get minor aches on the right side of my head where i was being hit. will it be permanent. its feburary 24th and its still a lump i read somewhere a warm cloth to your head should circulate the blood flow. im scared. what do i do.

Dont worry ,It goes away for sure.Its blood and tissue clotwhich happens after a injury.That too firehead swellings are fast to come as the skin lies immeditely above the skull bone.Probably the remining dime sizeis hardened clot and dead tissue due to injury.our body have the mechanisms lymphatic system which slowly takes away these hardened cells.external warm clothes -hort cloth soaking can also hasten this process .i would say give another month
