Fat necrosis: It is much more likely related to trauma to the fat tissue than bone. This takes 2-3 months to resolve. If you are concerned about the bone seek out an XR. All the best.

Am I likely okay if I was hit hard in the head 24 hours ago? It hurts a lot to touch but there is no visible bruising or swelling, which concerns me.
