How To Treat A Bruise In The Thigh Due To Injury?
I slipped on a wet floor and banged my thigh tonight extremely hard on the edge of the bath. The redness has gone down but there is still a mass of pain, I have a large swelling which is like a lump. Will this just be bruised tissue or could this be more? The skin is extremely sensitive now.

Hello,
It is a simple contusion and is common after a fall or blunt trauma, and is due to the collection of blood underneath the skin.
You can apply cold compression for faster recovery. Generally, the symptoms will settle in a couple of days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
