Any Natural Remedy To Remove Liquid Filled Area On Outer Calf?
I was hit on a motorcycle a week ago. My leg is all bruised. Most of the swelling has gone down. But there is a liquid filled area the size of a goose egg on my outer calf. What is this from and what can I do about it. Is it an infection? Are there any natural remedies for this that I should know and try?

Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Seems most likely to be an infection/Infected wound
I would advice that you see a local practitioner in your area and get a prescription for an oral antibiotic (penicillin group)
Along with oral antibiotics I would advice you to use a topical antibacterial like 2% mupirocin twice daily for a week, after cleaning the wound with betadine solution
take care
regards
