What Causes A Huge Welt On Left Side Of Head And Concussion After A Injury?

I hit my head on the door frame and had a huge welt on the left side that left me with a mild (self diagnosed) concussion and a C shaped bruise. That was 2 days ago and now the bridge of my nose and the top bones in it are swollen and I have raccoon eyes...did I fracture my skull? or a depression fracture?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, soft tissue injury is very likely but it may not be the skull fracture because you do not have any symptoms that supports the fracture, if the doubt need to be cleared then better to get done the x-ray of head hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
