Lump Under Skin In Shin, Ankle, Part Of Leg Swollen Due To Injury. What Is The Solution?

I feel on my shin in September and had a bruise under the skin and a small lump. The bruise went away, but still had a small lump. Two days ago, I re-injured my shin again, and now under my skin it is bruised and my ankle and part of my leg is swollen. I can walk on my foot an have no pain.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some infection in your shin bone tibia as lumps is since three months.
Go for x-ray tibia and rule out any osteomyelits in the bone.
Go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course.
Apply ice cold application.
Ok and take care.
