Hello,

I can understand your concern. As the bleeding has stopped and no other discomfort is there except some pain and swelling, you can give it some time to heal.

Having some pain and swelling is common after injury to any facial site. As face has high blood supply, the bleeding and swelling looks always severe than the injury itself. You can do ice compressions over the area and keep pain in control by painkillers and wait for some days for the injury site to heal.

However, if the pain or swelling worsens, you develop fever or other discomfort, a physician should be consulted as these are sings of infection in the injury site.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HCM. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
