How long does a hematoma takes to form?

Hematome: An acute hematoma develops immediately after the trauma or surgery, whereas a chronic hematoma can develop over time and may be associated with a slow bleeding or extravasation of blood.

Varies: This will vary some with the location and the size of the blood vessel(s) broken that give rise to the hematoma.Multiple tiny vessels under a nail may take minutes.A big vessel under the scalp may accumulate a hematoma over several hours.
