Will The Swelling And Bruise On Brows After An Injury Subside Soon Enough?
I slammed my face into the corner of my night table a month ago, specifically my eye brow bone. A lump on the brow swelled, although bruising was only present on eye lid. It looked as if I did a horrible makeup job on one eye, purple, green red, a perfect half moon along the crease. The bruising went away but I still have pain on the brow when touched. Is this cause for concern or is a month still part of the healing process?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
As I always being say that the head injury should never be taken lightly, and looking to this criteria it is better to have x- ray of your face to rule out the possibility of fracture, your problem will go away if it is unremarkable I mean if the x-ray turns negative, have nice day.
