[|Human|] Hi I have a friend who had  gotten stitches in their forehead a few days ago due to a massive hit to the head, it began to swell last night and gradually getting worse, now causing the eyes to have purple/green bruises.  Should this be of concern, they have been taking ibuprofen for the swelling, but it has seemed to worsen.
[|AI|]  Thanks for contacting ChatDoctorI am sorry to hear about your friend who had a trauma to his head that required sutures. Today you noticed that the area is swelling, and he is getting bruising around his eyes. This is to be expected. The trauma has caused tissue damage to the scalp and there is bleeding underneath the skin. This blood now is seeping down toward his eyes and giving him the bruises. This will take about 1 week to resolve. To help limit the bruising he can use ice compresses and take ibuprofen for the pain. He has nothing to worry about. Hope I answered you question. Please contact us again with your medical questions and concerns.
