dear user, bruise, lump, along with diabetes, are all things requiring special attention. you must keep your sugars well controlled. how did the bruise happen? whether it is infected? if yes, you need antibiotics. the lump , is it cellulitis due to bruising or is it a separate entity from bruise? if separate it needs to be biopsied. i think either send us the image or see your doctor. regards!
