What Causes Purple Bump On Shin?

Hello. I hit my left shin years ago, I had a purple bump for the first few weeks. Years later, it became a hard lump. It s not too obvious but I can feel the difference from my left and right shins. Is this something I should worry about? The lump does not bother me.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

It don't think this is something to worry about. I think it is caused by fibrotic tissue and is caused by trauma. Don't worry if it doesn't bother you.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
