How To Treat Accident Mediated Hard Pea Sized Bump On Shin?

Hi, I'm 39 year male and by accident I recently discovered a small bump on my shin,about 2 inches under the knee. Bump does not hurt on the pressure or everyday activities. It appears hard, peas size and shape. Bump size did not change as far as I can see since I discovered it 4-6 weeks ago. I had 2 surgeries in the same knee due to sports injuries. Is this something I need to be worried?

Hi. I do not think there is anything to worry about. This looks to be an organised small hematoma. may resolve or may persists. If no symptoms you can leave it alone.
