Hello. Thanks for asking from HCM.


I can understand your concern. It is good that your injury has almost healed. The lump at injury site could be due to scarring or pus or old clotted blood. To reach unto some diagnosis, we have to observe few points
: Swelling with pain, redness and fever could be due to pus collection. It needs to be drained by surgeon.
: Swelling with pain, fluctuation and no decrease in size at all, could be due to old blood. It needs aspiration or drainage. You need to consult doctor.
: Swelling just below scar, with pain, firm, no fever, gradually decreasing in size could be due to scarring. It will gradually settle on its own. You may take pain killler like Diclofenac sodium after proper prescription.


Hope it will help you. Thanks. Take care.
