Is Antibacterial Ointment Sufficient To Cure Injury On The Shin?
Four weeks ago my son injured his shin playing football when another player struck him with his football cleats. There was a minor laceration which I cleaned and applied antibacterial ointment to. There is a persistent hard bump that remains which is approximately the size of half a walnut shell. Should I be concerned about the bump?

Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that there is no need to worry continue your antibacterial ointment if you find any pus or discharge than start oral treatment with antibiotics.
I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
