What Is The Treatment For Numbness Over Eyebrow After An Injury?
Hi, I fell Tuesday by tripping on the step and when I did the left side of my head over my eye it the edge of a wooden board, it broke the skin a little but now when I touch my eyebrow it feels like it is numb and maybe have fluid in it. I know it is brused because it hurts when I touch it up farther from my eyebrow.

Hello
It seems from the history that following injury to the eyes you are having numbness of the eyelids and contusion of the eyelids.
The numbness can be because of damage to the nerves supplying the skin of the eyelids. Hence you require evaluation to rule out underlying fracture of the bones of the orbit.
The contusion requires treatment by use of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Thank you
