A member asked:
If i treat bleeding outside of the brain will it be gone, or do i need to keep worrying? i have so much on my mind.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inside or outside: Bleeding inside the skull can exert pressure on the brain, deforming it, causing serious side-effects. Headaches are almost universal here. Brain irritation can cause seizures. Blood can be resorbed naturally but stay alert. Blood outside the skull may be a painful cosmetic nuisance but is rarely serious.
