Suggest Treatment For Black Bruise With A Knot On Left Leg

I have a pretty good bruise with a knot under it on my left leg to the right of my shin. It doesn t hurt its just annoying . there is no heat in it and frankly, I don t remember if I hit it or not. I take aspirin daily so I don t think its a clot. The bruise is almost black and about 2-3 the knot is same length. Should I be concerned and what can I do to treat the swelling?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got bruise with hematoma formation. Hematoma gradually resolve in due course of time. Thrombophobe gel application locally without rubbing is helpful in resolution . Analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief is helpful. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
