I have hard ridge like knot? bump? where i hit my forehead on a metal edge 2.5 weeks ago. what is it? permanent? ice? heat? massage?

Normal.: This is how the body heals. It will take a few more weeks but the inflammation after the injury is how the body heals. Give it more time and you can just leave it alone.
