How To Treat Hard Painful Lump On Ankle?
hi i got kicked very hard right above the ankle in a soccer game about a month and a half ago. It hurt during the game but not enough to stop me from playing. afterwards it slightly swelled and bruised. Now the bruise is gone but there is a hard lump that only hurts when you touch it. what could this be?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
That can be many things...can be an implantation dermoid...can be a chronic encapsulated abscess...can be a organized hematoma....
So...show it to a surgeon for a proper clinical evaluation and a needle biopsy if he feels so...and get it removed.
