What Causes Numbness On Face After A Forehead Injury?

My adult son broke both his heels and has 23 steel pins in his feet. He lost his cane and fell down onto his head about 2 wks ago. He has a fair sized bump on his forehead and there is numbness around it which has been spreading (for the last 2 days) to the rest of his face. Is this significant? He feels a little bit in his leg also.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to the magical world of health care,
I went through your query, and this seems to be hematoma which means blood collection under the skin, its in itself innocuous, but if it gets infected it can be dangerous, so see your doctor and let him decide what is best for your son.
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
I hope a 5 star rating if you feel guided in your treatment,
Thanks.
