Should I Be Worried About Bruise And A Knot At Injured Spot?

My daughter who is 4 had the treadmill fall on her leg from a raised position. I worried it was broken at first but she was able to walk on it and played on it the following day. Now weeks later she still has a bruised spot on it and a huge noticeable knot on it. It starts approximately 4 inches above her knee cap.

Hi,
It seems that she might be having formation of hematoma at the site of impact.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
Apply Thrombophob cream locally.
Ok and take care.
