Suggest Remedy For Lump On Head
I got hit in the head, left side at hairline - huge goose egg. I immediately iced it. This was Sunday. On Tuesday, I started getting a black eye on left side. Went to the doctor, he stated everything seemed fine, but would take about a week to be gone. Woke up Wednesday, complete black eye, dark purple - looks awful. No dizziness, no impaired vision, no loss of consciousness - but still have a small lump at hairline.

hi.
the bump on your head is an inflammatory reaction secondary to the trauma you had. swelling will subside in a few days to a weeks time depending on the severity of the injury. observation will do, especially if you're not presenting any alarming signs or symptoms, such as loss of consciousness, decrease in mentation, nausea and vomiting. a cranial ct-scan may be of help in ruling out intracranial lesions. other diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
