Is It Dangerous To Have No Swelling And Bruising After A Hit?

Yes... my nephew was accused of slamming his girlfriends head into a tempered oven door... he stated that she d kicked it, was drunk and angry at him. I checked her injuries, and there was no swelling or bruising, and three inch-long shallow cuts. Wouldn t there have been swelling?

Hi,Over the head cut will appear more sharper due to typical anatomy. As cut is there so blood will came out of it,so there will be little swelling.
