Brief Answer:
Soft tissue injury. Nothing serious

Detailed Answer:
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

This is just an athletic injury and is due to hitting of ball or some other players' foot on the shin. After such injury there is oozing of the blood to the subcutaneous area and it can easily been seen as bluish/reddish bruise on the site of impact.

Nothing to worry as it will get better soon. Apply bengay ultra stretch gel on the area and give heat for fast recovery. Give her some rest and a balanced diet and plenty of fluids.

If she feels pain, you may give her over the counter pain medications.


Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns. I will be happy to get back to you shortly. If satisfied here, please give a five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.

Regards!
