bruise on high cheek bone.

[dennisb66]

2 to 3 weeks ago my 10 year old grandaughter was accidentally hit in the face at school which resulted in a bruise under the eye.The bruise has nearly disappeared but there is still a small hard lump on the bone,is it anything to be concerned about.?

Almost certainly nothing to worry about. 2 things come to mind:

1) Ossification ( bone formation) in the bruise.....no big deal, if cosmetically unacceptable can be excised at a later date.

2) Broken cheek bone (maxilla).........3 weeks ago is too late to do anything about it now..........unlikely.

Leave well alone...........assess the situation in 6 months time.
