Question : I have about 6 lumps on my right shin that have developed and have not gone away in the past 6 weeks. 2 are a bit harder than the others. 2 are on the left side of my bone, one on top, and 3 on the right side. I do not know what this could be. I hit my shin a few times and had bruises there, but now they feel like lumps & are red on top. What could this possibly be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history.
Please give additional information for me to assist you better:
Please post clear and focused photos as these help a lot in on-the-spot diagnosis in some cases.
Any medicines orally or locally did you try?
Are these XXXXXXX with skin or fixed to the bone?
Any pain/tenderness (pain on pressure)?
What are the sizes?
Any other information please.

Awaiting your detailed feedback along with photos.
