What Is The Remedy For The Bumps And Swelling In The Leg Underneath The Thigh?

I got into a car wreck a week ago. Got examined, & they said everything was fine. I had injured my leg but nothing was broken. It was swollen & as the days went on I realized bumps underneath the skin on my thigh. They really hurt if I made the wrong move, turn, or bend. I happened to feel like it was okay to move more freely today, so I bent over & the hard bump area popped. It hurt really bad, and I'm not surr if I need to go back & get examined or if I'm fine...

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

It looks like you need to get back to the doctor. Due to injury, sometimes blood accumulates in the soft tissues. In some cases such blood gets infected and turns into pus. It can give formed abscess or tissues mixed with pus. This gives pain, skin swelling, redness and bumps can appear.
I suggest you to do not wait with it. Please consult your doctor, have leg ultrasound. Antibiotic might be necessary and some incision.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
