Should I Be Concerned For Pressure In A Bruise That Is Almost Healed?

Hi, I hurt my leg playing soccer about a week ago. I got a pretty large bruise on my shin. Now the pain is almost completely gone (the bruise is still there), but there is a rather large very pale circle in the middle of the bruise (about 2in diameter) with decreased sensation. I feel no pain when pressing down on it, but I feel some pressure. I cannot feel light touches/scratches at all. Should I be concerned?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this bruised that you sustained. After reviewing this information fully, there is no reason to get worried and seek any further medical attention at this time. It may take a little longer than weeks for the color of the bruised area to be recovered entirely. Monitor only and only seek medical intervention should something new sets in.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
