Not really.: Sometimes a bruise, a collection of blood, can leave a residual bump, but i wouldn't assume that's what it is, i would see a dermatologist.

Question 5

is a painful lump normal after a bruise is almost gone normal? the lump showed up right after the injury

Accepted Answer

Likely to be: A hematoma, or collection of blood from soft tissue injury.  These eventually, and in most individuals resolve over a number of weeks.  Use warm compresses beginning a week after injury and continue.  If pain worsens consult your doctor.

Question 6

got hit by a car over 1 yr ago & where bruise was from the car hitting me, theres a lump & just recently became painful. what should i do?

The lump: probably represents an old HEMATOMA or blood clot!
Apply ICE and if this does not help consult a General Surgeon....by this time the clot should be well "organized" even CALCIFIED an removable!

Question 7

i have a bruise that appeared out of no where and it's been their for 5 days now their is a small lump under but doesn't hurt should i be concerned ?

Accepted Answer

More info: A spontaneous bruise can occur through unnoticed trauma.  If it is small, nor painful, single and goes away quickly it is probably not a cause for concern.  If it persists, gets larger, painful or other changes it should be evaluated in person.  Also f you develop more spontaneous bruising you should be evaluated as soon as possible.
