What Causes Lump And Bruise Near Shin?
I have a lump near my shin. It has been there 3 weeks. About a week into having the lump and bruise started to develop. Neither of them have gone away. I didn't hit my leg on anything. I went to the doctor and she wasn't helpful at all. Can you give me any ideas of what the lump and bruise may be from.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
The history is only for 3 weeks. IT is possible that you are having a ruptured vein or an insect bite or a boil.
If there are no symptoms or redness, pain or local increase in temperature , wait and watch , ready to start treatment is symptoms develop.
If resolves on its own , nothing to worry about.
