Recently I Have Developed A Bruise On My Left Calve,
Question: recently i have developed a bruise on my left calve, looks like a normal bruise but it has a slight bump/ lump over it when i run my finger over it.. is this normal?
Brief Answer:
It sounds normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, I'm Dr. Branch, thanks for using Ask a Doctor. Especially if you hit your calf against something, what you describe sounds normal to me, the bump/lump is could just be a small collection of blood under the skin. As the bruise heals that blood should slowly be reabsorbed over several days to weeks.
I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions. If you are still concerned about it, you could try to send a picture of it and that might help.
