What Is The Treatment Of Lump Caused By Hit ?
I fell down the stairs about 20 minutes ago. I got bruises but with ice and first aid cream they are getting better. However, I have a hard lump about 1inch on the upper side of my right leg. It hurts and ice isn't helping it go away or hurt less. Is there anything I can do to get rid and or treat the lump?

HI.
This looks to be a hematoma.
Continue icing for up to 6 hours maximum, then there is no role.
Take a tablet like Ibuprofen or whichever suits and is available.
You can also put a tight bandage, preferably a crepe bandage over this area to halt the progress.
This will settle with time. Do not worry .
