As you can imagine, it was a very bloody mess. The bleeding took about three hours to stop, with pressure. However it continued to bleed under the skin after the initial hole clotted. The hole is healed now but there is still a lump on my skull and it is still extremely painful. So much so it is affecting my sleep and vision which may be going hand in hand right now.I really can't afford to go to the er so any home remedies would be great. ( I haven't gone to the er or doctor yet at all) I'm wondering if this sounds like it's going to cause worse problems for me.
