[|Human|] 6 years ago I was hit in the forehead (top, right side) with a metal bar, I went to the emergency room and the doctor said that I had a mild concussion since then I have always had a lump on my head about the size of a quarter if not a bit bigger, i still experience headaches and lack of concentration since the accident occurred. The lump is not soft , it is pretty hard and I was wondering if it would ever go away, what was the reason behind it being there, and why i still have complications after 6 years.
[|AI|]  Hello thanks for asking from ChatDoctorYou developed lump on forehead after being hit with a metal bar. The lump is persisting since last 6 years. Most likely the lump is due to collection of blood which resulted in development of hematoma. The persistent headache is also a complication of head trauma. The symptoms of lack of concentration is also due to injury to brain. I would advise you to visit a surgeon for aspiration of the lump on forehead. If not properly managed it may result in development of infection which can prove serious. For headache consult a neuropsychiatric for treatment. Medicines like Sodium Valproate, Topiramate etc. help to reduce the symptoms of headache following trauma to head. For severe headache you can take OTC analgesic medicines like Ibuprofen, Paracetamol etc. Visit a doctor for proper prescription. Thanks, hope this helps you.
