Suggest Remedy For Bruise On Ankle

about 6 months ago i was playing soccer and i got kicked really hard on my leg and because of that i had a really bad bruise all the way down to my ankle and there is a lump where i got kicked. My concern is that the bruise is gone but the lump is still there. Should i be concerned?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain it seems that due to sudden blow there has been traumatic injury to the soft tissue fibres leading to inflammation of soft tissues leading to accumulation of inflammatory fluid and swelling..
Bruising and lump formation is due to ruptured blood vessels secondary to injury leading to blood spillage into soft tissues and there is also HEMATOMA formation..
At times the Hematoma gets localized and encapsulated and become a firm mass that can take a long time to resolve..
Nothing to worry as it will get resolved soon..
You can do alternate warm and cool compresses over it..
Apply Heparin gel over it as it helps in disruption of Hematoma..
In case if there is no improvement in another one month after doing the following remedies consult a General Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
