Suggest Treatment For Hematoma Lump On Upper Thigh

I have a hematoma lump on my upper thigh from a dog bite. While the teeth marks are getting better, the golf-ball sized lump seems maybe only a little bit smaller. This bite happened three weeks and one day ago. The lump is very firm. When will it go down?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having hematoma and now encapsulated.
Apply ice pack2-3 times a day for few days.
Gradually it will be absorbed.
Many a time if blood collection is more it might require aspiration with wide bore needle.
In such case do not try to prick with needle by your self.
Then consult your doctor and discuss about this.
Ok and take care.
