its very bad to hear about your trauma , to me it appear that some blood clot has been retained in the impact area and it might have taken form of an abcess for which i suggest you to get it examined by a physician and then you an take thrombophobe cream or antibiotics or NSAIDS what so eer is required. as far as numbness of the face is concerned simply it an be due to nerve injury at the site of impact,if required then go for a Xray skull and CT scan but only after consulting the physician .
wish you all the best.
