What Causes Lump And Bruises On Forearm?
I hit my upper ulna (forearm near elbow) a month ago and the bruising is gone but there is still a lump? I hit it on a rail while snowboarding and there was a terrible terrible bruise that spread. A month later, the bruising is gone, but there is still a lump on my forearm where I hit it. What could this be?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
A hard bruise can develop a hard lump under the skin where the bruise had occurred. This lump is known as a hematoma. A bruise is an ordinary skin injury that leads to a breakage of blood vessels under the skin. Blood from injured blood vessels underneath the skin amass near the surface of the skin resulting in a bruise. Put some icepacks/cold compress.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
