Suggest Treatment For Bruised Bump On Shin
I fell about 2 months ago and bruised my left shin pretty bad. It took a long time to heal and I still have a bump on my shin. It sometimes aches and is tender when I touch it. It is a hard bump. I can'tpress iin on it at all. I'm wondering what it could be and if I should have it looked at by a doctor?

This is postiperative hyperkeratosis of skin with the same symptoms as you mentioned. You should apply topical cortisone or prednisone cream twice daily for one week.
