What to do if having a lump on forehead after hit by an aluminium rod?
Patient: Hi, About 7 days ago a aluminum bar was dropped across my forhead just above my right eye, a lump appear straight away which I iced.  No real bruise appearred but it still really sore to touch in the place were it hit.  I have not yet seen a Doctor and was wondering if I needed to? Doctor: Hi.The soreness to touch is necessarily due to tear of small nerve endings. This is usually self-limiting but can take a real long time. You may still wait as there is no definite treatment for such sores. If the soreness is more than bearable , you may take medicines under the care and prescription of a Doctor.
