It can be haematoma.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,XXXX
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I'm Dr. Sudhir Kumar.
After going through your query I think your husband has got large haematoma across his back and up to belly button.
I has three question for you
1. whether he got injured.Please tell me mode of injury
2. whether he is having fever or not .
3.How it feels fluid or solid.
If he got this after a injury and he has no fever, then no need to worry much.Hematoma gradually resolved by itself .Thrombophob gel local application three times a day over it(no rubbing) can help in resolving it.
But you are worried because three weeks has passed.
Your worry is real. Subcutaneous hematoma gets color changes in there natural course of their evolution and may take longer time
Sometimes haematoma does not resolve by themselves. In these cases aspiration with wide bore needle is done to suck the collected blood under aseptic condition for which you need to visit doctor.
Ultrasound abdomen will be helpful to establish the diagnosis and to exclude other causes.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Wishing you good health.
Take care


Thank-you. XXXXXXX
