Suggest Remedy For Dent On Forehead After Injury

Hi I had a pretty big head collision with an opposition player during a touch footy game on thursday night. I got a massive egg on my forehead almost immediately and it was quite painful. the other girl seemed to be worse off than me (she didn t come back on to play) but i played the rest of the game. I could hear a clicking noise in my head when i ran but it wasn t too bad. Now, two days later the swelling has gone down but I can feel a dent in my forehead. It is really painful to touch but the weird bit is, when i touch the spot, i actually feel tingling in a completely different spot on top of my head... i also had a really runny nose in the days after and I m feeling a nauseous now (but I m sure these are unrelated). any help or advice would be appreciated thanks!

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your question and understand your concern . It seems to me that you got Hematoma. It is collection of blood under scalp. It will gradually resolve. but you can get your x ray of skull to rule out fracture as you feel dent. Analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief can be taken.Vitamin B and C is helpful in recovery. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
