Suggest Treatment For Hard Bump On My Leg After An Injury

I fell over two weeks ago and hurt my leg. An indentation formed before swelling into a lump about the size of my palm within 5-10 minutes. The bruising was never too severe, but the lump remains and has not reduced in size at all. Should I be concerned?

There is no need to be concerned as this is nothing but accumulation of fluid and it will go by its own. I would suggest you following.
1 hot water fomentation
2.Tablet Brufen for pain
