Suggest Remedy For The Lump On The Shin With Redness Around It
My brother in law hit his shin on a concrete step. A huge knot popped up. We put ice on it and it was down the next day. There is a sore about the size of a quarter where he hit it. We have treated the sore with medi-honey, and there is no fever. However the entire shin from the site about 12 inches down is red. No fever. He is diabetic with congestive heart failure.

Welcome to Health care magic.
1.The symptoms seems like an infective features.
2.With underlying medical conditions like diabetes and cardiac pathology, i would recommend to see the GP and let it get examined.
