Suggest Treatment For Lump On Shin After Hitting

Two days ago I fell (slipped) while cleaning the shower and hit my shin, just below my knee. It immediately developed a large lump, which has resolved somewhat, but is still quite swollen, painful and hot to touch. A large bruise is slowly developing- almost down to my knee. I am trying to keep it elevated as much as possible because it throbs while standing. Should I be concerned by the fact that it is hot to touch?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having small hematoma causing this lump.
Due to bruise on the part there might be having some infection.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Apply antibiotic cream locally.
Ok and take care.
