Head Injury, Knot, Itchiness. What Is Wrong?
Hi, I fell and hit my head six days ago. My chair had been moved but I was unaware and went to sit down and landed on my back. I m not even sure if my head hit the floor or hit another chair on the way down. It hurt really bad and there was a large knot immediately. The knot is still there and a couple days ago it began to itch nonstop. Is this something I should be concerned about?

hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Hematoma or contusion is collection of blood due to blunt injury over soft part as in your case.
If itching is over this part , then need not to worry.
When this contusion will resolve , this itching will go away.
Till you can take 1-2 tablet of antihistamine.
Iced pack is the best .
Good luck.
