What Causes Blood Filled Bump On Lower Leg?
Hi! I injured my leg a little less than a year ago. This resulted in a blood filled bump forming on my lower left leg. I went to the doctor and they said that I tore a muscle causing blood to flow down my leg causing this bump to stick out. Will this heal?

Hello,
This is collection of blood and it is called hematoma. For hematoma healing I would recommend you to apply hot water fomentation and also compression bandage. If this collection is excessive then it can be treated with needle aspiration. Taking antibiotic is also helpful.
I hope these steps will e useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
