What Causes A Red Bump On The Forehead After An Injury?
I have red bump on the right side of my forehead up as high as the top of my ear. It has been sore for six days and my eye is black. It was caused from a fall and I banged into the side of a door. The black eye is slowly getting better but the bump on the forehead always looks the same but not quite as sore when I lay on that side as it was the first night after it happened.

Hi,
It is nothing but a hematoma developed after a blunt trauma. It is a collection of blood outside of a blood vessel and it will settle by itself even without treatment.
You can apply ice packs for faster recovery.
You can also take analgesics like Tramadol for pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
