I have a lump on my forehead that happened in a soccer colision from a few years ago. Any doctors in the house that can give me some info on the lump and any possible methods in bringing it down? It really brings my self esteem down when people notice it. But its not too big, a lot of people that ive known have a revelation when they finally see it and they tell me theyve never noticed it till then. So its almost down. how can I make it go down the rest of the way? and please, no bullish answers such as, i have to embrace myself, or anything like that. I just need answers that are important constructive, and useful.

You should have taken care of it at the time with icecompresses and possibly anti inflamatory. At this time it's to late for you to do anything. If you really want to get something donme about it you would need to see a doctor. We don't know what's causing the lump. Did you get a tiny sliver of bone that seperated?...Having a lump for a few years strikes me as a bit strange. Usually they heal within a month or two. Anyway, see a doctor and good luck.

Sorry for your anguish over this! If it has been there for a couple of years, there is not a home remedy that is going to remove it. Your body has this way of over-reacting to trauma and what has most likely happened is a build up of scar tissue that has hardened instead of being absorbed by the body. Your best bet, if it is really hard to deal with, is to see a plastic surgeon and have it removed. You may have a bit of swelling and bruising after the procedure, so summer break or vacation break would be good timing to have it done. Good luck!
