Fell And Hurt Butt, Huge Bruise. Treatment?
I slipped and fell on my left butt cheek last night. It hurt really bad and I neglected to ice it. It was fine this morning but I noticed that it hurt when I sat on it. I went home to check on it and I have a horrible huge bruise that wasn't there this morning. I'm icing it now but it's been almost 24 hours. What should I do to treat it and should I see a doctor? Can I also work out?

hello
welcome to healthcare magi forum
thank you for your query
i understand your concern about bruise.
due to pressure and friction you have develop bruise on butt.
you may feel up to 3-4 days.
apply good antibiotic cream over it
it is better to take analgesic medicine for pain and inflammation .
it will turn into brown and than black.
if you feel more swelling ,more pain ,it better to consult doctor.
i hope i answered your query
