Hi, just about an inch away from my ear in one particular point my cheekbone. Feels badly bruised. I only feel it when I press down. The other side is fine. I have no sinus problems, colds. I had a wisdom tooth out a couple of weeks ago but that was the opposite side of my face and I had the soreness in my cheekbone before the tooth problem,,, do you know what this could be??? Thank you very Much Teresa
Hi, What you are trying to describe is tenderness and not bruise. Their could be anything ranging from trauma to neuritis responsible for pain over the cheekbone. Sleeping over one side only on hard pillow might be a cause too. You need to do warm fomentation along with local application of diclofenac gel over the site with light hands. Avoid pressing over the tender part and sleeping over that side. If pain not relieved in a week or two you need to get an C-ray along with blood investigations done to rule out other possibilities. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
