Suggest Treatment For Lump And Bruising On Chin After Injury
My 13 year old son fell off his skateboard last week and bruised his chin. It is looking much better now but he has a knot/lump there that moves around when you touch it. Should I take him to be checked? What type of doctor should I take him to see?
I think that the lumps may be a lymph node caused by the trauma. You can visit an ENT doctor if you want but I don't find it necessary because it will go away as the chin get healed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
