Lump Formation After An Injury To Forehead. Is There A Way To Get It Removed?
I got punched in the forehead about eight weeks ago. During the time, I applied ice to my fore head as soon as it happened. Eventually, the swelling went down a lot, but the knot stayed, and its a little squishy, when I move it. I am not suffering from any sort of pain, or dizziness. How do I make it go away.(Someone mentioned, it may be puss, swelling in the skin).

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
It seems that now there is localized hematoma giving rise to this knot.
Nothing to worry, still it will take some time to absorb the collected blood.
Continue ice pack 10 minutes at a time 3 times a day.
Some times if swelling persisted then aspiration of blood may require.
Blood is good medium to grow bacteria so if require go for short antibiotic medicine course.
Ok and bye.

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for calling H.C.M.Forum.
You got punched on fore head 8 weeks ago. The swelling got down a lot but knot stayed, it is squishy, no pain or dizzyness. You want to get rid of it.
It is the bruice, and due to non treatment , or sub clinical treatment,It didn't subside completely.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to use vitamin C, protiolytic enzymes, etc. If there is any projection to out side you can use steroids locally. If it is left for time also it can go away.
I advise you to drink lemon juice for disolving the swelling.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
