Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Bruising On The Hand

Hi, my name is Debbie and I am 56 years old. I have a week old bruise on the back of my left hand, and three days ago the bruise blew up to the size of an egg (a mushy egg). that had gone down by the next morning but the swelling is still there and the bruise is spreading. Should I seek medical attention?

Hello,

As of now you can apply icepacks for faster recovery. Generally, it will settle by itself. If lesion persist you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.

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