Taking Antibiotics For Ear Infection, Hips Area Feels Bruised, Small Lump Under The Skin In One Area. What's Wrong ?
I started taking some antibiotics for an ear infection from a piercing and a few days later I noticed that my hip area (bottocks/top of thigh) feels like it is bruised. Every time I touch it, it hurts, but there is no discoloration. It has been this way for over 1.5 weeks and I did not have any trauma to this location. he tender spot is probably about 9 in diameter and I feel a small lump under the skin in one area. What could be wrong?

hello and welcome to HCM,
When you were given antibiotics, were you given any painkiller or antibiotic injections on your hip area? If yes then it could be an abscess, immediately see a general surgeon
If you were not given any injections then the lump should be definitely inspected by a surgeon so that proper treatment can be given.
there is no direct relation between your ear infection and the bruise in the hip
take care
