What Causes Lump On Buttocks After Taking A Fall On Them?

Lump remains after bruise subsides - I fell on our front steps 2 months ago - ridiculous, multi-colored bruising and soreness of shin gradually went away within a couple of weeks. It's completely fine now - no pain, no discoloration, but I have a big lump on my shin. Will this, too, eventually go away? Or should I get it checked? Might it need to be drained or something? I exercise regularly without any difficulty.

Hi,Dear,thanks for your query.A big lump on the shin- persisting -after 2 mths-is your issue.This appears to be firming up clot on the shin -2 mths back-post trauma.As its not painful still, means its recovering without any infection in it.But still upload photograph of the shin and more info-if its with fever off late.You need to get the surgeons opinion- to fix this issue.Wait and watch-if nothing painful, this might regress over next 3 mths time. Thnks.Hope you are satisfied with the reply.WEllcome again.
