Suggest Treatment For Bump Caused By Hitting
I hit my face in the dash in my car after a friend was driving and hit the breaks to stop from hitting another car. Since I have a large bump on my cheek that I can move around. I tried putting ice on it. It was the size of a baseball and now it s a bit smaller than a golf ball. Can I drain it from home or any other way to break it up?Thank you Tracy

Hi,
It seems that there might be forming hematoma giving rise bump on face.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
Gradually it will be absorbed.
Some time if not dissolved then aspiration of blood with wide bore needle is required.
Then consult your doctor and get procedure done.
Ok and take care.
