Suggest Remedy For Big Bump On Shin
Hi, I just hit my leg on a small ice cooler about 30 minutes ago. I just now realized there was a big bump on my shin in the area which I got hit. It doesn t hurt and the color matches that of my skin. Should I ignore or go to the doctor, is it just a knot?

Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
You have developed a bruise over your skin due to injury,
A bruise develops due to internal tear in blood vessels and bleeding.
Just apply thrombophobe or hirudoid cream over the affected area.
Thrombophob ointment contains Heparin-Benzyl Nicotinate which improves the blood supply and prevents clots. so it will help in faster clearing of the clotted blood.
And you can take oral vitamin C 500 mg twice a day orally for rapid healing.
Hope it helps
