Bruise On Right Side Of Waistline, Hard Bulge Protruding From Bruise. Causes?

I have a bruise on my right side at my waistline. I have had the bruise for several days now. I do not know how I got it. In the last day or so, I have also noticed a walnut-sized bulge, hard to the touch, that is protruding out from inside the bruised area. Could you please tell me what it might be?

Hello user,
There are many causes of swelling on the body, it may be due to some external cause like injury etc or may be due to internal cause like cyst, lipoma, hernia etc.

The history given by you is insufficient to come to any proper final answer, So I suggest you to go to nearby general physician or send some pictures of the lesion.

hope my info helped you
