Hello,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got injury to your shin and you got internal bruising( hematoma). Hematoma gradually resolved by itself .Thrombophob gel local application three times a day over it(no rubbing) can help in resolving it. It is not possible to know exact time of resolution but I think it may take up to 2 months.I do hope that you have found something helpful.If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
