How Long Does A Hematoma On The Buttocks Take To Get Cured?

I fell down a pull-down stairway 11 days ago. Have large hematoma on the right buttocks. How long should it take to resolve? It seems to fold over when I sit. Started wearing a corset for associated back injuries today but it does not cover the hematoma. It has a burning sensation. Kathy

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Hematoma is nothing but a collection of blood under your skin.
Generally it will resolve in couple of weeks, no particular treatment needed.
You can apply hot compresses over the region for faster recovery.
If the bump persist for very long, consult a doc and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
