Should I Be Worried As I Am Having Headache And A Bump On My Head?
Taking a bath--shampoo and shaving creme attached to wall above my head. It fell down on my head. I have a bump on my head as shaving creme bottle grazed my head rather sharply. Slight headache but seem to feel ok otherwise. Using ice on bump. Do I need to worry?

Hello
It seems from the history that you had a injury by fall of bottle on head following which you are having bump and headache.
The bump is because of collection of blood called as hematoma. This will resolve over 3-4 weeks. Cold compression and use of analgesic drugs will provide fast relief.
However if you have symptoms like loss of consciousness vomiting blurring of vision you need to consult your doctor immediately to rule out head injury.
Thank you
