Suggest Treatment For Deep Scar And Sensitive Area Around Upper Eye Brow

default
Posted on Thu, 8 Jan 2015
Question: i slipped and fell in the bathroom in the end of September of this year, and hit my head on the rim of the toilet extremely hard. i actually hit the left upper eye brow. my vision is ok. It left a huge gash of which i should have probably gotten stitches but i didn't. The area remained swollen for days. now there is a deep scar but the area is still extremely sensitive to pressure or touch. i was wondering if maybe i bruised the bone or chipped it. if so, is there is anything that can possibly be done?

Brief Answer:
Nothing to be done now.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
If it was a deep wound then a crack in the bone is likely but now after more than 2 months nothing much can be done. The bone should have mostly healed by now. The mild pain on deep pressure will also gradually subside. You can do a hot compress and apply a local analgesic gel in the area for relief.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
