What Causes Red Patches On Forehead After An Injury?

Yes, please! I sustained an accidental blunt mini trauma to my forehead 8 days ago.....(playing w/ dog outside) There was a slight bleed from a scratch of either the dog s toy OR possibly dog s tooth. A hematoma developed within 24 hrs, and slowly dissipated over the following days. However, I have now developed red patches/blotches all over my forehead....they are slightly itchy,and sensitive to the touch, and when I bend down I feel a burning pain from these red areas. No fever, no other symptoms other than it looks worse than it feels. What is going on? Thank you for any light shed on this.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to the injury.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application and a vitamin K cream.
The symptoms will relieve gradually.


Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
