How To Treat A Bruise On Thigh Turning Darker?

I was carrying a heavy pool pump last night and it started to drop. When it started to drop I guess I stuck my leg out to stop it from falling to the ground. However in the process I got a large scrap toward me inner thigh. The bruising started immediately. And it has continued to get darker and much larger throughout the day today. Should I have my Dr check this?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having large hematoma formation due to heavy fall leading to rupture of small capillaries and blood oozing.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
Gradually it will be faded away.
Ok and take care.
