A member asked:
I hit my leg 2 weeks ago. bruise is gone but now i can feel a lump where the bruise was. should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not worried, but: it could be a hematoma or a subcutaneous nodule previously there and coincidentally traumatized causing you to now focus on the area. To be safe don't worry, but have your doctor take a look and advise you.
