A member asked:
I got punched in the face around six days ago resulting in a black eye. there is a lump very close to the bruise site. is this a cause for concern?

Hematoma: You had bleeding around the eye caused by the assault. The blood underneath the skin as it gets absorbed may be forming to a scar, probably that is what you feel. As long as it is getting better every day no need to worry about it.
