What Causes Lumps In Thigh After Bruise Is Healed?
I got a bruise, about 8 in by 5 in on my inner thigh about three weeks ago. It's pretty much healed, just some discoloration on the edges, but there are two hard lumps where the rest of the bruise use to be. The lumps are very sensitive and even hurt without contact. Should I be concerned? Should I seek medical attention?

Hi,
These will be hematomas. A hematoma is a collection of blood in the tissues following a bruise which then becomes firm as the blood clots and the surrounding tissues start to heal.
It is not serious and will disappear but this may take a couple of weeks and in the meantime it may be tender.
Paracetamol and ibuprofen will help.
