Had Hit On Head. Bump Appeared Above Eye. Will It Be Cured Or Is Permanent?
I fell 3 1/2 years ago taking down a large breakfast stool with me, and it landed on my forehead . I am sure I had a concussion but never went to the doctor. I have had the bump from it still above my right eye ever since. Sometimes it is more noticeable than others. Is this something I will have for the rest of my life being that it has already been 3 1/2 years?

Hi,
Thanks for query,
Your bump was due to soft tissue injury at that time leads to some bleeding with crushing of tissue . Usually the inflammation subside completely but due to some reason not progressed so it remained as cold swelling.
It will not harm you.Cosmetically you may need to take plastic surgeons opinion.
Have a nice day.
