How To Treat A Painful Lump On My Shin?

I slipped getting in the shower 12days ago. Right after I slipped my right inner shin had a lump the size of a small apple and it bruised right away. Hurt real bad. Three days later the bruising traveled down to under my ankle but that area didn t hurt at all. Three days after that it turned pink like a sunburn. Today the lump is still there the brusing is fading the pink is fading, but the lump still hurts. Should I be concerned? fading but the lump still hurts. Should I be concerned?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having hematoma following injury.
Blood from hematoma gravitated down to ankle giving rise swelling and color changes on ankle.
nothing to worry.
Apply ice pack on the site of impact where small lump is there.
Gradually it will be absorbed.
Ok and take care.
