Now she is completely ok.but light swelling and bit dark spot is still there in the forehead.but no such pain is there. Please guide any further treatment to get rid off this swelling and spot.
Brief Answer:
The swelling and dark spot will eventually disappear.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. The swelling and dark spot will eventually disappear. This is due to haematoma formation. This will take time to get absorbed. It will gradually decrease in size and fade. If there is no change then it can be evacuated surgically by a small incision. You can do gentle massage and warm compress. If there is no improvement then consult a General surgeon for evacuation.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
