It was a softball size bruise . It has been a week now and there is a hard egg size lump on her leg now. It is tender to the touch

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some infection causing induration and swelling.
there might be having small hematoma under the skin.
Apply ice pack for 2-3 days.
If pain and induration increases, go for one antibiotic medicine for 3 days to control infection.
Ok and take care.
