I tripped and landed on my chin it was scraped a bit from the carpet and bruised within 8 hours. there is a hard lump on the tip of my chin now and was wondering if the bump is just tissue or possibly a chip it is moveable but not a tone of pain unless i press on it  what do u think
Hi Dear, welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. Thanks for your query. The lump after injury is a common thing. The most probable reason for the lump is soft tissue injury and formation of hematoma. It is the collection of blood under the soft tissue due to rupture of blood vessels. I would suggest you to give cold compresses to your chin to relieve the selling, elevate you head above your heart while sleeping and take ibuprofen (if not allergic) or paracetamol for pain and swelling. Also get a tetanus injection. If condition doesn't start getting better than consult doctor or surgeon for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may perform physical examination or order X-ray to rule out cause like fracture or infection and treat it accordingly. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics or fix the fracture if it is there. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best wishes,
