OK this is really pathetic but I have drug addiction issues and border line personality disorder and a light case of self harm as in the sense of sometimes I get so stressed out and angry that I will hit my head and sometimes will cut my arm, not every enough to truly hurt myseld , thats not my intent just enough to release my anger. Well a little over three weeks ago I hit my right temple and a few days later I Have a knot in the vein that runs through the temple area. The bruising has gone away and it doesnt must but the knot is there. Will this go away or have I just done some damage to the vein that Ill have to live with
Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. The pain is gone away and this suggests that the inflammation after the trauma has gone down. Probably there is a thrombosed vein present which is felt like a knob. This will re-canalize with time and it won't be permanent. Most probably nothing needs to be done, and the knob will disappear with time. Some suggest application of a cream called tomophobe, but mostly it will not be required. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link:bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.
