How To Treat Painfully Bruised Shin To Ankle With A Large Lump And Red Circle On The Site Of Injury?

Two weeks a softball was thrown at me. It hit my shin. I am bruised from my shin to ankle an around my calf. It looks terrible. Where I was hit there is a red circle and very white skin in the middle of the circle. It is 2 inches wide and is a large lump. What is it?

Hi,
From histroyu it seems that there might be having hematoma with soft tissue injury on the part.
Apply ice pack for 2-3 days.
Take one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course.
Ok and take care.
