Question : Age 78. Fell two weeks ago on face on floor. Bruising most gone but two goose eggs on forehead. No pain ever. Soreness and still some yellow color. Will lumps go down. ?

Brief Answer:
Consider surgical procedure

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
It should subside in first 2 weeks but some degree of hematoma may persist. However,if there is still such large hematoma then it can be incised and drained surgically so you should consult your doctor about it. Wish you good health. Regards
