Suggest Treatment For A Bump On The Shin After An Injury
I hit the top of my shin a few inches bellow the knee. At first it just really hurt to touch and there was a little indent. Now about a three weeks later a bump has formed in that spot woth the same indent. Should be worried about it or is it just scare tissue that needs to be massaged away. It doesn t hurt when I touch or push on it. Thank you for your time.
