My girlfriend has a vertical gash on the left side of her brow from hitting the framing in our closet at a weird angle, and the gash is wide enough to have to hold together to apply medical tape, but now, her eye is turning black underneath after a few hours. Should I be worried? Could it be a fracture? There is no swelling, just a big gash and black and blue discoloration forming under her eye.
it is subconjuctival hematoma. blood trickles from layers due to developmental continuity. no treatment is requested except cold compression. it is self limiting.
