A member asked:

I bumped my head on a metal bar. i immediately put icebon it. i do not have a bump or bruise but i have pain.its sore to touch. should i see the doc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: If the skin was not broken, infection is unlikely. Also do you think you broke the bone - that might need attention. However, most bone fractures of the skull would also have a skin breakage. The pain is from bruising the underlying bone and this will go away.
