Lump Developed From Hitting, Bruises, Feels Hard. Need For Treatment?
I fell down and hit my shin very hard almost 2 weeks ago. I developed a large lump almost immeadiatly and it hasn't gone away. My leg is stil quite bruised from where I hit it all the way down to my whole foot. The lump itself is still quite bruised and feels sort of hard yet squishy. Should I have it looked at, or will it eventiually go away?

Hi,
It seems that you might have developed hematoma or some soft tissue injury on the part due to hard hit.
Go for ice pack application for few days.
Go for one course of antibiotic as there is likely of having infection at local side.
Ok and take care.
