A week ago I banged the back of my head on a sidewalk during a fall.The swelling from the bump has spread across most of the back of my head, and it feels a bit squishy under the skin.Is this something to worry about, or to treat, or to address in some way?
Hello Thank you for trusting Chat Doctor Dear it may be due soft tissue swelling or occipital scalp hematoma. First to label it as scalp hematoma we need to do CT and confirm the location. Sometimes hematoma may extend into intro cranial. Simple scalp hematoma may heal itself no treatment required. Body break down the hematoma with in a period of 2-4weeks. You can take tab choral Forte to reduce edema of the area. If you are feeling vomiting, headache and nausea please consult your doctor immediately. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask me.
