What Does A Small Lump Under A Bruise On The Forearm Indicate?

I have a peas size lump under a bruise on my forearm. You can t seeing the lump...you can just feel the lump. It is 100% not a zit- or boil. Has no break in the skin. Doesn t hurt now After 2 weeks the bruise is gone but the pea is still there. What could this be?

Hi
This could be a hematoma following the bruise. This shouldn't be a problem however you can take warm compresses and it's bound to disappear in a few weeks.

This lump could have been there the trauma and maybe you just noticed it now. There are a couple of benign swellings anyone could get such as a dermoid cyst or sebaceous cyst or a neurofibroma. Final diagnosis requires clinical examination and if this apparent hematoma doesn't subside in three weeks you can visit a local general surgeon for this.

Assuming that it's a hematoma I'd advise you following treatment for a period of five to seven days
Warm compresses thrice a day
Ointment Thrombophobe twice a day to be applied over the swelling
Tab. Voveran 50mg twice a day
Tab. Serratid 10mg twice daily.

Hope this helps

Regards
