What Can I Do For Hard Lump On My Cheekbone As Hit The Table?

hit my cheek against a coffee table, i have a hard lump on my cheekbone two weeks later, bruising is still all down one side of my face.To touch the lump I dont have as much feeling as I do the rest of my face, do I need to be x-rayed? Im a little embarrassed of how it came about as Im 35 not 5 lol

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi. This is life- age does not matter in getting the problem - so no guilt is necessary.
As it is more than 2 weeks , I would advise you to go for a CT scan , NOT the x-ray not to miss the small details only a CT scan can say.

I hope you must have taken anti-inflammatory tablets like Ibuprofen or so in a proper doses.
