What Causes Mild Pain And Notable Indentation On Forehead Post Injury?
Question: Yes - a few weeks ago I dropped my phone and bent down to pick it up- I inadvertently did not notice that my cellphone was immediately under a sharp 90 degree wall . When I retrieved my phone and went to stand up - my forehead collided with the sharp corner of the wall. Weeks later , I am still having a dull pain with a notable indentation on my forehead .
Brief Answer:
Nothing serious
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Trivial head injury without any loss of consciousness, vomiting, seizure, bleeding via ear and nose or weakness may not be of much concerns.
Local indentation may be due to depressed fracture of bone depending on severity of impact.
Mild pain may be persistent for some time even months due to local soft tissue damage.
You may apply local pain reliever ointment.
Nothing to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
