Suggest Treatment For Infection Caused Due To An Injury To The Shin
I fell and hit my shin 1 year ago. The skin was not broken, The swelling was considerate and I developed an infection. After 4 weeks the swelling had not subsided and the doctor made an incision and suctioned the blood that had accumulated. The swelling has gone down considerably but it is still swollen and discoloured. Also it hurts/burns. It is warm to touch.

Hello, thank you for your contact to health care magic. If I am your doctor I suggesting you one year old wound with such a problem should requires doctor to see it. Usually the wound you described get healed within a 3 to 3 months. As you had it with one year I suspect a blood vessel connection. If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Dr Arun Tank.
