What Causes Headache, Indentation On Forehead After Got Hurt?
A freezer door swung open and hit me in the head last week. I didn t lose consciousness or have any symptoms of concussion that day/night (nausea, vomiting, etc.), but it was very painful. The next day I noticed an indented ridge on my forehead where the edge of the freezer door hit. I also developed not exactly a headache, but more like a dull ache, like a thick feeling on that size of my head. I actually had my doctor check me out for work comp, but all he did was look in my eyes and ask me questions. He said since I didn t have any particularly extreme symptoms to report, he didn t think a scan of any kind is necessary. So, he signed off on it. But I still have this very dull headache (I never get headaches usually) and although that indentationon my forehead is no longer visible, I can still feel the indentation with my finger when I press below the skin. Is my skull cracked underneath? Is there any danger? Should I do anything?
I had gone through the case and found that it might not be serious.
If pain or swelling is increasing then go for X-ray or CT of Skull to find out the crack in skull bone. It might be swelling of connective tissue of forehead
Meanwhile apply muscle relaxant ointment and mild pain killer with hot water bag.

Hello & Welcome to HCM, I had gone through the case and found that it might not be serious. If pain or swelling is increasing then go for X-ray or CT of Skull to find out the crack in skull bone. It might be swelling of connective tissue of forehead Meanwhile apply muscle relaxant ointment and mild pain killer with hot water bag. Hope after some days pain will subside.
