So I have a small lump on the right side of my abdomen, just above the hip bone and it's beginning to freak me out a little. I've had it for around 2 weeks, I had gotten a knock in that area playing football and there was and is still to an extent bruising in the exact area the lump arose, but it didn't appear until a week or so after this happened. Should I be worried?
This is a small hematoma (post-traumatic). Usually, it is a self-controlling phenomenon but should take of the following care for better early recovery. • Apply ice 4 to 5 times a day • Keep the part clean with antiseptic liquid • Avoid direct/indirect pressure or itching
In our clinic we recommend cephalosporin group of antibiotics (to prevent secondary infection) and anti-inflammatory agents to resolve it faster according to the case evaluation. (I can guide if you upload the photo.)
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
