Suggest Treatment For Bruise On The Leg After An Accident
Hey, I slipped going up the stairs last Thursday and fell pretty hard on my shin. It s left a bruise on my leg that is ringlike, a purple ring on the outside with a red center. Although the bruise isn t as swollen as it was Thursday, it still is slightly raised from the rest of my leg. Should I seek further medical attention?

Hello
This sounds like a hematoma--a pool of blood under the skin.
That will be absorbed in time and it isn't dangerous
