Should I Be Worried About The Hard Lump At The Impact Site?
I am a healthy, 36 yr old female and fell hitting my chin on the hardwood floor a week ago. There was bad bruising, which is now diminishing, but the area of impact is hard and almost independent (i can feel a lump independent of the rest of my chin). Is this to be expected? Should I wait a little longer to see if it sustains?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having hematoma formation at the site of impact.
Now it is localized and independant lump is seen.
Nothing to worry, gradually it will be absorbed.
Apply ice pack for few days.
Apply Thrombophob locally.
Ok and take care.
