Suggest Treatments For Bruising In Lower Shin After An Injury
banged the side of my left inside leg (above ankle) but not the front shin. I would say lower right shin last weekend. I can walk on it, but it is warm to the touch and I have brusing all around my foot. I started soaking in hot water yesterday. Should I just keep going with this type of treatment? I am able to put weight on it and walk around.

Hello,
It is quite common after an injury and is nothing but a collection of blood underneath the skin.
Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.
No definite treatment is required in most of the cases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
