How To Cure Lump After A Bruise?

I banged my leg about 3 weeks ago. It was very painful and I had a large bruise. The bruise had since gone away but there is a small lump here I hit it. The lump is still painful. What should I do? It s on my right lower leg about halfway down on the outside.

welcome to Health care magic.

1.The bruise due to the haematoma formation under the subcutaneous / muscular plane and inflammatory collection (features of cellulitis).
2.In your case you said its mostly resolving - you can apply a local thrombolytic cream available in the market ( needs to apply twice a day).
3.If its red and painful on touch - get an ultrasound scan of the lesion, as it could be a infective bacterial abscess, which may need to do an incision and drainage.
4.In this case, better see your GP let him examined and depending on the findings one can take the needful steps.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
