Can A Healing Black Eye Leave A Bump On The Cheek Bone?

Hi I got hit in my cheekbone and had a black eye for about 5 days, but now after 3 weeks I still have a bump that feels really hard to the touch on the spot where I got hit. Is this a normal part of the healing process or should I go see a doctor and if so what kind?

hello,you should still wait for few weeks more because the healing process might have not been complete.Even after few weeks the bump is there and if it is increasing in size and causing any kind of discomfort consult a doctor.
