Have Bruise On Knee, Liquid-filled Lump. What To Do?
I got a bad bruise on my knee about a week ago. I iced it after i got it but it was still pretty bad. the bruise is nearly gone but there is a squishy lump where it was. If I massage it it feels numb and i think there is liquid in it. also i can feel a small thing inside it that moves around freely. What is the lump? What should I do? Should I be concerned? Can I still play football?

Have Bruise On Knee, Liquid-filled Lump. What To Do?
Hi, It seems that you have developed hematoma. You have to take rest for about two weeks. There is a collection of blood underneath the skin. It is clotted... And then it is absorbed back in blood vessels gradually. Apply thrombophob oint. Take vitamin C and K. Antibiotics may be taken for 1 to 2 weeks. Do not worry, if you feel to consult somebody , consult dermatologist or surgeon. Thanks. Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
