Suggest Treatment For A Large Bruise On My Stomach

I wrecked on my bike a few days ago. . Messed up my knee but later also noticed I had a huge bruise on my stomach.. it doesn t hurt but has gotten twice as big and is dark deep purple color. .I m over weight female 44 yrs old if that helps. .and don t think I damaged anything inside but the massive bruise looks alarming to say the least. .I have pictures. .I have a Dr app. Monday which will be exactly a week from when I wrecked. . Butsince the bruise sends to be getting bigger and family abd friends are kinda freaking out when they look at it... I m worried that maybe I should maybe go to ER. . Although it doesn t hurt .. please help and if possible give me tips on how to make the bruise heal or at least stop spreading. . Thank you

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having big hematoma formed on the site giving this problem.
It will take some time faded away.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
To prevent infection go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory meidicine course for 3-5 days.
Some time if blood collection is more, might require aspiration of blood from hematoma.
Ok and take care.
