Why Is The Bump Above My Ankle Not Going Away?

Good afternoon, About a month ago I hit my leg right above my ankle; recently when I touch that same spot where I was hit I can still feel a bump and if I put little pressure it still hurts...I was wondering what it might be or the cause of it not going away? if you could please answer my question I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you and have a wonderful day

Hi,

Most probably it may be a hematoma. However, consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to take vitamin K tablets like tab stic or tab orsik-3 along with vitamin C tablet. Apply thrombophob ointment on the affected part. It may vanish in a few weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
