Suggest Treatment For Hematoma Knot On Inner Thigh Caused By An Injury

Hello, 15 weeks ago I flipped my 4 wheeler over on me, broke my collar bone, tore my MCL and got a hemotoma about the size of a cantalope on my inner thigh (Dark Blue and purple) with an egg shape knot in the center. The bruise is only about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long now The knot is about quarter size. Will this ever go away?

Hello,

Based on your description , you are suffering from heamtoma in your thigh secondary to soft tissue injury . Usually the hematoma removes over a period ranging from 2 to 6 weeks .

During this period you have to observe the hematoma and maintain good hygiene so that it does not get infected. Usually with this it resolves on its own. Visit your doctor if there is increased pain or size.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
