Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was in an accident two weeks ago yesterday and my legs were badly bruised by the car air bag. A few days ago one particular spot was itchy and I scratched it a bit. Now that area is redder than before and also hot to the touch. Is this cause for concern?
