I got smacked across the face by a large plastic bungee cord hook about 16 days ago.  I received two small cuts on my left cheek (just under my eye) that needed to be glued shut.  I had a severe black eye that lasted afor about 10 days and still have a slight bruse to my cheek. However, now that the swelling has receeded, I have noticed a very hard lump (small marble size) under the area where my face was cut.  Should i be concerned about this, or is this most likily a lingering result of the bruse?  It not really painful, but can be a little tender if I press on it.  Is there anything i can do to help it resolve itself?
Hi, Greetings from Chat Doctor. Since you had an injury on the cheek below the eyes is common to have black eye which will last for days and subside slowly. The hard lump you have noticed is part of resolving hematoma which can be felt like a hard swelling. You should not be concerned about this .you can try antibiotics with serratiopeptidase, trypsin-chymotrypsin tablets which will hasten the recovery
