Should I Get The Lump On My Head Checked Out By Doctor?
I hit my head two days ago on the back hatch of my truck. the next day the spot I hit hurts to even touch and it has been hurting since and a lump has now developed. My room mate tells me I need to go to the ER but I don't know. Do I need to go to th hospital to get it check out?
Hello It would be best to get checked out to make sure you don't have a skull fracture. The lump is a hematoma--a collection of blood beneath the skin, and that isn't worrisome, but the tenderness could be from a skull fracture
