Suggest Treatment For Slightly Painful Lump Near Shin Of Child
Question: Hi. My 14 year old daughter just showed me a small lump under her skin near her shin. She is a softball player and very active. She says it is slightly painful when pressed on. Very worried.
Brief Answer:
Appear to be hematoma, apply heat, resolve on its own
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Based on the information, there might be injury which has resulted in this, then it is small hematoma, which is small lump that develops at the site of the bruise, it's actually a small amount of blood pooling into the fatty tissues under the skin.
There is no need to worry, it will resolve on its own, I would suggest you to apply of heat that helps the body absorb the old blood quicker, which speeds up the healing process.
I would suggest you to see doctor, if it increased in size, turns to be painful.
Yet , again I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
Appear to be hematoma, apply heat, resolve on its own

Thank you. There is no bruising at the site. Could it still be a hematoma?? It hurts when pressed upon
Brief Answer:
It appears to be hematoma.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Good to hear from you.
She might have unknowingly bumped into other player or ball while playing. So I would suggest you to apply heat for speedy recovery. I would suggest her to take rest for week days. She will be fine. I also advice you not to press it.
Wish her speedy recovery.
Take care
