Why There Are Two Lumps On The Bruised Area Of My Leg?
I cleated my leg over a month ago and there was a giant bruise on my leg for about a month. Now the bruise is basically gone and back to normal color but I can feel two little lumps on my leg where the bruise was. My question is, is that normal or should I see a doctor?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you havetwo lumps on the bruised area of my leg. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like keratosis pilaris , folliculitis , eczema , allergy or insect bite . Bruise must be due to hematoma or post inflammatory response . I would suggest you to keep area clean and dry , apply ice pact , apply over the counter antibiotics cream and consult dermatologist if condition doesn't getting well . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clarithromycin along with anti inflammatory and corticosteroid cream .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
