Hello,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got injury to your left buttock and you got hematoma. If you has no fever, then no need to worry much. Hematoma gradually resolved by itself. Thrombophob gel local application three times a day over it(no rubbing) can help in resolving it. If Sometimes haematoma does not resolve by themselves. If it takes more than 2 weeks time and fluid like,in these cases aspiration with wide bore needle is done to suck the collected blood under aseptic condition for which you need to visit doctor . You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful.If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
