What Causes A Lump On The Forehead After A Concussion?

I had concussion recently and had a big lump on my forehead and to nite I looked and all my eyebrows fell out on the side of the lump. There is a hard ridge on my forehead where it was previously swollen which I was told would eventually go away.
Is it normal for my eyebrows to fall out

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through your short history and I can understand your concerns.

The symptoms you have mentioned suggest the possibility of a hematoma. It is nothing but a collection of blood following a blunt trauma. You don't need to worry regarding this as it goes away by its own in few days even with out treatment.
Your eyebrows will regrow and it is common following a trauma.
You can try the following as first line management protocol:-
(1)- You can take over the counter analgesics like ibuprofen for pain.
(2)- Apply ice packs over the affected area,it might fasten the recovery.
(3)- Massage the area with counter irritant ointments like diclogel.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
