How Can A Small Lump On The Abdomen Be Treated?

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?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

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
