Hi,

As per your complain Hematoma is a harmless tumor like mass formed due to spillage of blood from ruptured blood vessels leading to accumulation of blood into the soft tissues forming a lump.

At times the hematoma gets localized and encapsulated and forms a firm hard lump that can take a long time, say a few months to resolve, but it generally tend to resolve itself.

You should do alternate warm and cool compresses over the lump. Apply Heparin gel as it help in faster disintegration of the hematoma. For pain you can take Ibuprofen. In case if it worsen consult a General Surgeon and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
