Question : I fell on my right side a couple of weeksago. Had very bad black eye. It’s looking much better.

There is still swollen hard lump on my eyebrow that doesn’t seem to be going away. It seems very thick.

Tonight I just banged my head into a door . It is in same area as one from last fall and now the entire eyebrow has a hard swollen area
But the original swollen area much harder.

I tend to fall on my right side

Im Putting ice on New swelling.

Brief Answer:
It is a Haematoma

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description,it looks like Haematoma, i.e.Collection of blood.
In majority,it will resolve spontaneously in course of time.

Nothing to worry.
