How Should A Shinbone Oozing Lump, Ankle And Foot Swelling Be Treated?

I hit my shinbone about 4 weeks ago. It left a bump. Which didn t bleed but did ooze some clear fluid a little bit. A few days later my ankle and foot turned blue and ankle swelled. It didn t hurt. Now a,out 4 weeks later I still have the knot on my shin and my ankle gets swollen everyday. Neither ankle nor bump are painful. Should I be concerned?

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got injury to your shin 4 weeks ago and you got hematoma. Now you have a knot on your shin and your ankle got swollen everyday. If you has no fever, then no need to worry much. Hematoma gradually resolved by itself .Thrombophob gel local application three times a day over it(no rubbing) can help in resolving it. Keep ankle and leg elevated on pillow during rest and night to reduce swelling. Active toe movements are advised to reduce swelling. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful.If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
