Suggest Remedy For Red, Painful Lumps On Leg Post A Fall
I fell down the stairs on saturday, and along with a lump on my fore head, my leg is in a lot of pain. It swelled to quite a size, so I put on a compression bandage, now the swelling has gone down, I can see two red lumps on my leg, which are painful. They look more like bites than bruises as they are raised

Hello,
The bumps seem to be related to the injury during the fall. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. The bumps will relieve gradually.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
