What Is The Medication For Lump On The Banged My Skin?

Hello there, Just over 3 weeks ago, I banged my leg (shin) into a table. There was bruising directly at the site of the bang and also bruising on the inside of my ankle. All I am left with now is a lump where I actually banged my shin. What could this be?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From your history, it seems that you have got an organised hematoma on your shin at the site of impact. There is nothing to get worried. It might take take some more time to get absorbed. In case it persists, you may have to get it clinically examined by a general surgeon of your area, who might consider of evacuating it by a small incision if need be.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
