What Does A Swollen Lump On The Leg Indicate?
On Monday I fell and scraped the front of my leg - laid the skin back. I am 80 so my skin is very thin. I had cord slacks on so dirt did not get into the wound. I showered to remove the blood. My leg swelled with a lump where it was injured. Dressed it with a non-stick covering after putting Neosporin on. It has been sore but not too painful. This morning I redressed the area after wipeing it with clean water and put a product called Mupirocin on it. Tonight before bed redressed it & did the same again. Went to bed at 10:30 woke at 11:30 with pain in the area. It feels like needles are sticking into me and comes in waves like shock waves. Should I be worried or am I having a reaction to the Mupirocin?

Hello,
This lump is hematoma formation after fall.
Primary relief is with ice application. You must visit your doctor to get prescription of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
