[|Human|] I have remnants of a hematoma on my forehead, just above my eyebrow, from hitting the side of the tub. the blood drained down daily between both eyes, which has now disappeared. This was one month ago, and although it has reduced about 90%, there is still a knot there. Should I massage it or leave it alone? It is still tender to the touch.
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A hematoma usually clears away in 7-10 days. The knot that you are having could be due to fibrosis, a secular of hematoma. Massaging will not help. However, you can consult your primary healthcare provider for an X-ray of the forehead to know the cause of knot-bony swelling or soft tissue swelling. Management can be planned after clinical assessment and imaging. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
