[|Human|] Hello - almost two weeks ago (it will be two weeks on Sunday) I banged my head (temple area) into the sharp corner of a coffee table and almost immediately had what you would call a goose egg. I started the process of icing it. The swelling went down, and about 12 hours later there was purple bruising, particularly near my eye where the blood must have migrated to. It has just about healed (turned about yellow, then went away, all within a matter of days) and I have no more pain, but I do still have a slight bump in that area which I would compare in size and feel to a pimple or mosquito bite. It s not even visible, but I can feel it. I know it s still probably just healing but I was wondering if that is likely hematoma and if there is anything I can do to help that alleviate it. Should I continue with icing or should I switch to warm compresses and/or massaging the area?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. You might have had a scalp swelling after your injury which caused the goose egg appearance. This can happen when there is slight injury and bleeding in to the skin. This injury is restricted to the scalp and does not cause any bleeding in the brain. If there is worsening pain, dizziness, vomiting and nausea, difficulty to maintain gait then a brain problem would have been thought of. Icing might not help much, and you can start warm compresses to feel better. Hematoma can occur under the scalp, but it usually maintains its size. Your injury does not look like hematoma. It has healed in 2 weeks and should heal more over next 2 weeks. Please do not worry.
