Blood Blister Formed After Accidentally Hitting Head, Increasing In Size, Hard And Red. Anything To Worry?

Hi there. About a month ago, I accidentally bumped my head and what I thought was a blood blister formed. I left it but over these weeks, it seems to have gotten a little bigger. It's about the size of my pinkie-nail and is kind of hard (and kind of squishy) and red. Could this be a blood blister or something else?

Thanks!
Allie.

Hi,
From history it seems that you are having small hematoma ie collection of blood on the part bumped.
Apply ice pack for 10 minutes, 2-3 times a day.
Gradually it will be absorbed.
Ok and take care.
