Suggest Treatment For Stomach Virus And Dizziness
I fell on some stairs in my house about 3-4 weeks ago after being sick with stomach virus and was dizzy. When I fell I hit the stairs so hard it left a huge crease across my rear with a large knot above the crease. What can I do, and do I need to see my physician?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Trauma can result in fibrosis which is the formation of scar tissue.
As healing continues, the area will remodel and the knot and crease should decrease.
This can take weeks to months in some cases.
At this point you can consider monitoring it.
I hope this helps
