Had Bruised Eye After Been Hit. Have A Huge Painful Lump. Should I Get It Checked?
I had a black eye that didn t form until the day after I was hit. It lasted for over a month (the bruise ). The bruise is gone, but it has been 2 or 3 months and I still have a huge lump that is very painful. It has recently began to hurt worse than when it was healing . Is it something I should get looked at or am I okay?

Hi
Please donor ignore that lump.
That could be collection of altered blood known as hematocoele or collection of pus or abscess. Get medical help, imaging in the form of ct or MRI will help.
This might need some kind of drainage procedure, consult an eye surgeon.
Take care
