Suggest Treatment For Hip Fracture And Bruise On The Cheek

Hello, Two weeks ago I missed a step while going down the stairs and fell very hard on my bum, I fell so hard I thought I had broken my hip bone. The second day after my fall I noticed a VERY big deep purple bruise in my left cheek, with a dent (looks like a horizontal dimple) I did not think much of it since I thought it was part of the healing process, today, two weeks after the incident, the bruise is still visible and almost gone but the dent is still visible and visible through my pants.. I ve done some research and found out that this may not heal because it could be fat cell destruction and need fat injection or fat grafting. To be honest i am very concerned about this and now very self conscious, I will be seeing my family doctor in about two weeks but i would like some type of explaination or solution to this please and thank you

Hello,

I have studied your case,

Due to blunt injury there can be hematoma collection .The bleeding that occurs result in hematoma collection. Over a period of time, as hematoma resolves it cause local skin symptoms around the hematoma.

Continue ice application, and thrombhophobe ointment may help and take rest.

Take precaution to avoid infection around hematoma.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
