What Causes A Painful Lump On The Forehead After An Injury?
Hi - I tripped over my dog and fell hitting my head on my the corner of my quartz countertop. Left side, even with my eyebrow, in the hairline. I now have a bump a bit smaller than a quarter. Area is tender to touch, did not break the skin. No other injuries. I did not loose consciousness, did not see double or get dizzy. Had a bit a headache (but already had a small headache). I took 2 Excedrin migraine (my usual headache medication). This happened around 6pm PST. I a female, age 61. Do I need to be concerned. Should I have it looked at? I did not realize there was a charge - I will call / follow up with my doctor Sorry to have taken your time

Hello,
It may be due to blunt trauma.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Apply ice locally.
You may require antibiotics after surgeon consultation
