I recently noticed a lump - a little bit larger than a quarter and it had a bruise on top of it. The next day or so, it looked like the bruise was fading. Today the bruise is mostly gone, but a circular area about 4"x4" is very red. The lump is fairly hard, but doesn't really hurt and doesn't itch. It reminds me of the reaction that I had once after a flu shot -warm, red and swollen so that my palm would cup when I placed it over the area on my arm. The lump in this case however is much more prominent. This is on my hip. I think I can remember bumping into something, but it was so unremarkable that I don't remember what it was or how long ago. Thank you for your information.
