What Causes A Lump In Leg After An Injury?
My 10 year old son fell and banged his leg on sunday. He has developed a solid lump on his lower leg about an inch away from his shin bone on the outside side of his leg. He has no pain except when you press it. It is hard like bone and about 1 inch long. Should i be concerned?

Hi dear,
I understand your concern .You should be worried,but not too much.
It seems he has haematoma. You should observe it that it would not infected. I suggest
- apply ice;
- do gently massage with Trombophob or Pilex ointment 3 times a day;
-apply iodine or betadin for prophylaxis infection.
Hope I answered your question.
Wishing your son good health
