How Long do Hematomas take to heal

[Shahab62283]

Hi I got hit by a baseball about 4 weeks ago in the face (on the left cheekbone). The bruising has subsided but there is still a bump on the tip of my cheekbone about a 1/4 inch in length width and thickness. i went to the doctor yesterday and she said that it might take several months to subside but they usually do go away by themselves, especially hematomas this small. however, i am a little concerned, and she isnt a dermatologist. my question is do hematomas this size usually go away by themselves? if not, what should i do to help it go away?

Hello Dr. Kaur and thank you for your help.

A couple of days ago I had heart stints put in through an artery in my groin area.  When the catheter was rem oved from the incision the nurse or PA, whomever removed it, must have done something to cause a hematoma.  In an effort to disperse the blood from the hematoma the blood went out of the hematoma and down into my groin area and privates.  It is black and deathly sore from my navel down through my privates area.  My penis is swollen 3 to 4 times the usual size making me very uncomfortable and I can barely urinate.  What can I do to help the situation myself and should I go see my Urologist?  I am also very concerned about what this might turn in to!!

I had a fall over a month ago - on my bum.  The bruising has gone away - but I have a hematoma the size of a dinner plate in diameter - and is about 5 inches high.

So painful.  I sit on a heating pad for 10-15 minutes very frequently.  

I am so tired of this - how long can I expect to wait before it goes away?
