Suggest Treatment For Painful Bump On Foot After Injury

Hi, i dropped something heavy on my foot, it was a bit sore for 5 minutes but after that i walked away without limping and without swelling. It has been a month now but i have noticed a bump on the spot i hurt myself and my foot hurts more like an itch, sometimes i just scratch it off. What coul be wrong with my foot?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that when the traumatic injury happened it has lead to hematoma formation at the site of injury due to ruptured blood vessels at the site of injury leading to accumulation of blood in soft tissues..
At times the Hematoma gets localized and encapsulated leading to formation of a firm lump that can take a long time to go away..
Nothing to worry as it will get resolved gradually..
You can do alternate warm and cool compresses over it..
You can apply Heparin gel over the lump as it will help in disintegration of hematoma and regression of lump..
You can also apply a steroid ointment over it if it itches..
In case if there is pain you can take Ibuprofen..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
