Hi

Thanks for contacting us

As I feel that more information helps a physician arrive at an accurate diagnosis, I would request you the answer the following questions:

1]When did you bruise your temple?
2]How did you bruise it ?
3]Were there any associated symptoms at the time of the injury ?
4]Is the numbness persistently increasing or has stabilised?
5]What is the size and exact loaction of the bruise? If you can attach an image of the injured area it would help us come to a precise diagnosis?

Awaiting your reply.

Get well soon
