Hi, I hit area on head just above brow on a hard surface. Swelled, bruised and went down. Now, two weeks later, a smaller, harder lump remains. still a bit sensitive. No other symptoms. Seems to be remaining the same. Any thoughts as to what I can expect as far as healing time

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, it seems to be a hematoma or a blood clot due to the injury.
It can take anything from 2 to 8 weeks and sometimes it can get calcified and then it can stay longer but does not usually lead to any problems.
So do not worry, it would disappear in due course of time.
Take care,
Dr Rishi, New Delhi, India.
