my husband hurt his shin a month ago and had a huge goose egg. His shin still has a bump but a week or so it started to turn red and now it is larger red spot and a deeper brighter red. his leg is starting to swell on the lower half and of course it is tender and hot to the touch. could this be a blood clot??
Hi, Your husband might be having secondary infection in hematoma. Trauma to shin has lead to hematoma formation over shin which is seen as swelling. Now infection in hematoma has lead to redness and pain. Local ultrasound of shin helps in confirming diagnosis. If hematoma is large, incision and Chat Doctor.  If It's small, treatment will be with antibiotics only.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
