What Causes Soft Lump On Forehead?

Hi four weeks ago i was shot in the fourhead with a paintball. At first it was swollen this lasted a few days. As the swelling went down two lumps remained. The lumps are on a blood vessel and have a strong pulse but are not hard. The bumps feel like a enlarged vessel. I was wondering if i was in danger of a blood clot? Or any other dangers unknown to Me?

Hi,thanks for your query to my HCM clinic.I understand the concerns you have as you are in 60's.In my opinion the soft pulsatile lump could be -a resolving hematoma over artery-by transmitted pulsations , or it It could be post-traumatic arterial aneurysm ,causing the pulsatile soft lump on the forehead.Thus the 2 lumps which remained after the paintball trauma are due to the 2 lumps like one by resolving hematoma and other with pulsatile -post-traumatic aneurysm.Hope you would be relieved of your query. with this reply.I would love to help and Wellcome to HCM for more queries.
