Suggest Treatment For Bruise And Bump On Head After An Injury
Hello I was elbowed on the side of my head yesterday. It was pretty hard and left a bump + bruise on my temple. Usually when I get a bump on my head it goes hard and round. Now this bump is hard and round on the outside but the middle is very soft and almost a perfect circle in the middle. When the incident happened, I felt burning a bit in the side of my head and now it just seems like a bruised area. But the soft spot in the middle is worrying me as the other side of my head has no soft stop near the temple. Would like some guidance, thank you.

Hi,
From history it seems that due to hard impact on the site there might be having rupture of few capillaries producing hematoma on the part.
Due to blood collection it looks soft in the middle.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
Ok and take care.
