Suggest Remedy For Bruise In Leg

I fell on my knee over a month ago and bruised my lower leg. Below my knee, a lump formed and has now become hard, appearing to be almost like a bony growth. It is no longer painful but it is somewhat unsightly and I am wondering what it is and whether it will eventually go away.

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to be related to the injury. I suggest to do an X-ray of the leg to exclude the possibility of a fracture. I also suggest to consult an orthopedist for further evaluation and a specific treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
