Suggest Treatment For Painful Bruise On The Shin

I have this bruise type thing on my shin and I don t know if I should go to the doctor or not. The bruise has been on my leg for almost 7-8 weeks. It s also warm to the touch, sometimes itchy, tender, hurts if pressed, and has a red/purple color to it. I was wondering if this is normal or if I should visit a doctor.
