Suggest Treatment For A Hematoma On The Right Arm

default
Posted on Tue, 5 Jul 2016
Question: I recently fell and have a hematoma on my right arm about the size of a walnut. It does not hurt. This occurred a week ago. What treatment should be done for it? I know the body has to assimilate the blood which is gathered there. Is there anything I can do to help the knot of blood to go down?

Brief Answer:
Heparin gel or Hirudoid cream or gel is helpful to some extend.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. As it happened 1 week ago you can do heat application by water bag. Using Heparin gel or hirudoid cream or gel for application on haematoma is also good for resolving it faster.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
