Should I Consult A Doctor As I Am Having A Lump Above My Ankle Caused Due To Hitting?
About two months ago at dance practice I got kicked really hard right above my ankle. A bruise came and went within a week or so but there is still a knot/lump there. It isn't visible but is still a little tender and you can feel it very easily. Do I need to go to a doctor or will it eventually go away in its own?

Hi,
It seems that you might have developed hematoma. That is a collection of blood underneath the skin. You may apply thrombophob ointment. The swelling may go away by itself. Still, you consult doctor for firm diagnosis and treatment. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
