What Is The Painful Bruise With A Lump At The Site Of Fall?
I fell down a few stairs about a week ago. The first day I had a small grey bruise on my rear end that was tender to touch but otherwise not painful. A couple days later it was a but more sore so I checked it out. The bruise had turned a dark purple color and had grown substantially. Now the center of the bruise is white, pretty sore when I shift on it, and has a lump in the middle. Is this normal?

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Bruise changing colour is normal phenomenon. But developing lump indicates that you have developed haematoma. It is collection of blood.
For this you need to take drugs like aceclofenac with serratiopeptidase and antibiotics like cefixime till the lump subsides.
Hope I have answered your query.
