I was cleaning my closet 2 1/2 weeks ago and a small ceramic heater hit me in the forehead. I put ice on for two days , I have a bump and I had brusing around my eyes and nose. My question is the bump hasnt gone away should I be concerned or will it heal ?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having bump and bruise around the eyes following a injury to forehead. This is because of collection of blood or fluids in the layers of skin of eyelids as a result of injury.
It is common to have bump and bruise around the eyes following injury to face above the level of forehead as the skin is loose in eyelids and it gets easily distended by blood or fluids following injury.
This will resolve over 3-4 weeks no need yo worry. Use of cold compression and antiedrma drugs like seratiopeptidase will help in early resolution of symptoms.

Thank you
