Noticed A Large Bruise On Calf
Three weeks ago I got a very large bruise on my calf with no trauma. there is a lump/ball at the top of it and it almost looks like the bruise trails down from that. The bruise has changed, but is still very large and the knot is still present. What is it?!?

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you may be having collection of blood in your calf. It is also called as Haematoma. I would suggest you to apply hot water fomentation and compression bandage can be applied. Some time such bruises get disappear by its own. In resistant cases you might need aspiration with the help of needle. I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
