Generally hematomas resolve spontaneously over time. However, surgically removing or evacuating the blood in a hematoma sometimes becomes necessary due to its symptoms or location. I encourage you to go to a medical clinic as soon as possible for proper evaluation & treatment. I wish you well with your health!
