Approximately 4 months ago I hit the inside of my lower leg on a chair during a fainting episode (related to another medical condition). It was bruised the next day, but not too significantly. However, now there is still some faint bruising and I noticed there is a small lump in my leg (I assume a hematoma). It only hurts a little bit when I press on the area. Is this something I should see a doctor about or will the hematoma (assuming that s what it is) dissolve on it s own soon?
Hi, if it is hematoma, it will settle with time, as body slowly absorbs the blood, but what if it is not hematoma, in that case you may need an intervention, and wasting time can sometimes be dangerous. Consult and get the diagnosis confirmed, an MRI will solve the purpose.
