Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
yes I have a bad bone bruise from hitting the threshold on my car door with my chin (I fell) \this was 10 days ago. It has deep purple spots, the skin is thin and tight. Its burning and spreading. THe bump looks like an apple underneath. The pressure is alot. I put neosporin and guaze wrapped it in compression tape. The Dr gave me antibiotics this morning. I have it elevated with ice. I have edema and lots of burning pain...its different pain than the original injury and is causing me anxiety. what else can I do? when do I know if I need to go to a specialist? My primary seems disinterested. I know there is a possible problem...
Oh, it's a problem. If there is bleeding into space, the amount of bruise can be quite high.
The face in someone of a certain age has folds and spaces where blood may collect in larger amounts than most places and the larger the amount of blood, the longer it takes for it to be absorbed.
Good news/bad news, the protein component of the blood may not be absorbed. https://www.allure.com/story/vampire-facial.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
