Suggest Medications For Lumps On Shin
After training for a half marathon last year, I discovered what feels like a small lump behind my shin. I feels very bruised when I push into it and can give me a bit of discomfort. I massage it frequently and feel like it is gradually getting smaller. Should I continue doing this or get it checked out?

Hi.
Stop massaging.
Consult a Doctor to know the reason - whether due to small rupture of small blood vessels or what?
You can keep the lower limbs in elevated position , higher than the heart level in the lying down position.
Use crepe bandage or stocking during marathons
