Is Numbness In Head Normal Post Suffering A Trauma?

Hello, 4- days ago, I reached across the seats of my car, turned quickly and hit the car door with the side of my head - temple area. It swelled, turned blue and I also have a black eye. I didn t black out, but did sink to the floor. Metal doors are very unforgiving. Now the side of my head, near the temple, is numb and has turned yellow. I don t know if the numbness is normal. Oh, and I didn t go to a doctor when it happened.
