About a week ago, I had a fall, and while my cheekbone took the main impact, the bruising has spread across my whole eye area (my eyelids are purple and green) and onto my cheek, covering about a quarter of the right side of my face. The swelling has gone down a lot, but theres still noticeable swelling, and I have a lump on my cheekbone that doesnt seem to be going away. Could this be a hematoma? Whats the best way to take care of the bruise and lump?
