Brief Answer:
It will be okay, nothing to worry about.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I'm Dr. Sudhir Kumar,

After going through your query I came to know that you hit the front of your leg against the side of the dishwasher. You have a little scrape on the bone and it is a little sore. I think you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C promote healing. Antibiotic ointment such as povidine iodine (Betadine) can be applied over the scrape two times daily. Rest, elevation (keeping leg on pillow) and icing will help in reducing swelling. It will be okay, nothing to worry about. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.

Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Wishing you good health.
Take care.
