What Causes Lump Between The Eye And Nose After Hitting?
Hello, Recently when I was rock climbing I took a fall and when I landed my knee hit my left eye. I didn t really have much of a bruise but now a few days afterwards I have a small hardish lump slightly below my eye and close to the bridge of my nose. What could it be?

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case ofa post-traumatic swelling, I would come up with only one and one possibility and that is small hematoma or blood-filled cavity!
I suggest you not to rub it and better do some X-ray or CT scan of the region to rule out any underlying serious bone fracture!!
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
