Suggest Treatment For Painless Hematoma On The Inner Thigh

A few months ago I fell off my bike and hit my inner thigh on the bike frame, resulting in a really bad bruise which in turn caused a very tiny and painless hematoma...which went away after a week and a half by itself. Skip forward to a few days ago and it seems to have returned without any problems. Doesn t hurt to touch but it s there and it s the same size. Why might it have come back?

Hi..

As per your complain Hematoma is a harmless tumor like mass formed due to spillage of blood from ruptured blood vessels leading to accumulation of blood into the soft tissues forming a lump..

At times the hematoma gets localized and encapsulated and forms a firm hard lump that can take a long time, say a few months to resolve, but it generally tend to resolve itself..

You should do alternate warm and cool compresses over the lump..
Apply Heparin gel as it help in faster disintegration of the hematoma..

In case if it worsen consult a General Surgeon and get evaluated..
In a few cases surgical removal has to be done..

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

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
