Why There Are Knots On The Metal Bar Scrapped Area?

I got onto a 4 wheeler the other day and a metal bar scraped the back of my calf. It was scaped pretty bad and was tender for about a week very soon after now there is a few lumps "knots" throughout the area where the scrape occured and the knots are tender to the touch. Any idea what this could be and will it go away?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some soft tissue infection followed by metal bar injury.
You might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days.
Clean local part with warm water and apply antibiotic cream.
ok and take care.
