Can a hematoma become a hernia?
No, a hematoma and a hernia are two different medical conditions.

Hematomas typically resolve on their own, while hernias may require surgical intervention.
Can hematomas get infected?

What damage might have been done to the function of the brain particularly the functions associated with the frontal lobe if you hit your forehead?
This answer varies on how hard you hit your head. If you hit your head very hard you may have a subdural hematoma (a collection of blood on the surface of the brain, can cause serious brain damage and/or death), an epidural hematoma (bleeding in between the inside of the skull and the dura, can cause serious brain damage and/or death), a cerebral contusion (a brusing of the brain, can cause serious brain damage and/or death) , a intracranial hemorrhage (intracranial bleeding, causes paralysis, memory loss and/or death), or a concussion (memory loss and/or death). Most cases of subdural hematomas and epidrual hematomas require a craniotomy to stop the bleeding. If you did not hit your head very hard you may not even have a medical condition.
