Could fluid filled knot on the head be a matter of concern?
Patient: I fell off a step stool at my house last night. We have marble floors and it was a pretty nasty fall, it slid out from under me and I fell flat, my head bounced. The knot on my head was baseball size after the fall. After showering tonight it now feels soft, like there s fluid. Should I be concerned? Doctor: HiIt looks like Haematoma, collection of blood or Edema. The swelling gets subsided in course of time. Nothing to worry. Regards
