my son is 12 and had a small hard bump about the size of a quarter on his leg for a year i did not know about...a couple days ago he hit it running and tripped and now it is the size of a half dollar hot to the touch and a blood bruise is forming about 4 inches down the side of his leg
Hi.based from your description, it could be an inflammatory reaction from the injury. Usually, it will subside in a few days time. If the swelling persisted, a consult with a doctor is best for clinical evaluation. Cold compress will also help in decreasing the swelling. Diagnostics (such as x-ray) and management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
