Suggest Remedy For Bruises On Ankle
A month ago I noticed a small bruise on the inside of my right ankle. I didn t remember bumping it. The bruise went away and in it s place is a hard pea sized lump there. It seems tender when I touch it. It concerns me because it is not going away. I am trying to decide if it is serious enough for me to see my doctor.

Hello,
I have studied your case. I think it is most probably collection of blood inside ankle. It is called hematoma. This is going to dissolve soon.I would recommend you to start hot water fomentation, antibiotic and NSAID.
I would also recommend you to apply compression bandage.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
