Brief Answer:
Ok

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on HealthcareMagic.
I had replied to your question on the XXXXXXX forum right?
Anyways it wold be better if you could upload pictures of your forehead.
Since you say it is from a long time and it is just subcutaneous edema it is better to prescribe after I see it .
But since CT is normal it is nothing major to worry about .
How is the colour of the skin above it .Is it itchy ?
Try if applying ice pack helps .
Kindly upload a picture
Hope this helps
Best wishes
