Suggest Remedy For Soreness In Chin
I fell this morning on my walk and hit my chin on the sidewalk. I don t think there is damage to jaw, but there is a large purple swelling under the chin, and it seeped blood most of the day. Will this resolve itself in time? The bleeding has almost stopped.

Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
You have developed a contusion and bleeding into the subcutaneous tissue.
It normally gets absorbed with time as the oozing has stopped, but take care that it does not get infected.
You should clean the area well with an antiseptic like betadine , apply an antibiotic cream like Bactroban and keep the lesion covered with sterile dressings.
