What Does A Lump On An Injured Head Indicate?
I fell asleep at my kitchen table and my head was on the table. I woke up with a bump (raised area) on my forehead above my nose and eyebrows, the area is not as sore as it was initially, but the bump is still there.
Do you have any idea what caused this on if I need to contact my doctor? THanks!
