How To Treat A Large Bump And Bruise On The Leg Caused Due To An Injury?

I ran into someone and got a bruise on my leg. A week later I got kicked in the same spot really hard and it turned into a huge bump. A hour passed and it started bruising, the bump began to go down and my leg became a huge bruise. There is still a bump on my leg and the bruise is really bad. My leg is starting to hurt more and I don t know what to do. Will it eventually disappear if I wait it out or should I go get it checked?

Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.
Yes it will pass and you don't need to be worried. This is hematoma,or blood accumulation under the skin and it takes few weeks till it is resorbed to circulation. You can apply heparin cream just and be patient.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
