Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I woke up this morning and noticed I had a bump/bulge(about the size of a quarter) on my left shin, it was painful. I rubbed and massaged it to try to make it go away. The swell is not as large anymore but it is very red. What could it be I didn t injure my leg, should I go see my doctor or just wait and see if it goes away by itself?
Hi Welcome. It requires examination. May be hematoma. Might have occurred as result of blunt injury. Usually resolve on its own within week or so. Get it examined by local doctor
