Hey, so I have a pretty bad bruise right near my knee. It is green and purple and is sore to the touch, and also there feels like there is a small, hard lump under the bruised skin. Is this simple hematoma, or should I be concerned at all and get it checked out?
Hi, Did you get injured? If yes, how long back. If there is a bruise on the surface then it is very likely that there is a hematoma underneath. As long as you do not have problem in moving around and your knee movements are alright you need not worry. You should apply warm compresses, a knee cap for compression and some anti-inflammatory medicines if the pain is too much. Take care, Chat Doctor.
