Suggest Remedy For Large Hematoma On Body After An Injury

Please provide any further suggestions or am I grasping at straws hoping to avoid a visit to hospital .
Wait and observe... It should disappear gradually...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I can understand your worries. But based on your description, I don't feel this is something serious. In some cases large hematoma such as this takes few weeks to subside.
It is not uncommon to see slow and gradual resolution of hematoma especially when injury was not a mild one. With severe injuries blood vessels gets damaged. And any subcutaneous collection including hematoma gets resolved only after blood circulation is restablished. Thus you will definitely see this as a slow resolving condition.
You need not be worried if its taking more than normal time to clear off. I am fairly confident it will clear off. Unless and until it is causing discomfort, we need not insert needle and drain it. You can continue using moist heat to improve circulation and help it clear.
Please be patient. I wouldn't be overly worried if this lump isn't increasing in size and its not hurting you.
Hope this is clear. I will be glad to clarify any doubts.
Regards
