Suggest Treatment To Heal The Lump On The Leg Formed Due To A Fall
I fell a few weeks ago and landed on my shin. There was an instant lump on my shin. Over the next week a yellow bruise appeared and has since went away. However, the lump on my leg has not gone down. It is hard and sensitive to the touch. is this something i should be concerned with?

This is a hematoma or a collection of clotted blood. You can apply warm water or warm compresses over it. Also apply compression bandage from your ankle to above knee for 2 to 3 weeks. It will ultimately be absorbed by the body circulation but hurts until that happens. You can also take Tab Chymoral Forte thrice to four times a day for 10 to 15 days to hasten its absorption.
