Have A Lump With A Bruise. Is Hard, No Itching. Remember Bumping Into Something. Recommendations?
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.

Hi,
The lump you are having on hip would be either some tumor or cyst.
There was bruise on top part of lump might be due to pressure or mild injury.
The swelling you have on hip should be examined by expert for the firm diagnosis.
And therefore , you go to either dermatologist or sugeon .
He may thoroughly examine clinically, if needed biopsy may be done and the diagnosis.
In case if it is benign tumor or cyst, comlete excision would be the best treatment.
I think , you might besatisfied with my answer.
Thanks.
