What Causes Colorful Bruising With Lump Without Pain On Cheeks?
I did a face plant two weeks ago. My chin absorbed the brunt of the fall. I have colorful bruising without pain but noa when I feel along my chin line it feels as if there is a sharp lump. There is no pain at all. Is this something I should have seen?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have colorful bruising with lump without pain on cheeks which could be due to either abscess formation, space infection, parotid gland enlargement or preauricular lymph node enlargement. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit oral and maxillofacial surgeon once and get it examined. You should get radiograph of that region done and from here exact level of infection can be monitored You should start treatment after proper diagnosis have been made out. You should take proper antibiotic course till then to subside infection. Maintain oral hygiene. If there will be pain you should take Ibuprofen.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari

Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
It is difficult to comment without examination, so I would suggest you to upload the pictures for better assessment and to provide you with specific advice.
Easy bruising without injury need to be evaluated. Coating factors need to be estimated. Platelets count need to be investigated.
Hope this helps.
Take care
