I have had a lump under a bruise on the side of my shin for about a week now. dont remember bumping it. how do i go about finding out what this is? :/

1st, tell a parent: If you have a bruise you likely did bump it and the bump could be a collection of blood under/within the bruise. It should naturally go away with time and nearly be gone after a week. Larger bruises take longer. If it keeps happening or doesn't resolve you should see a doctor.
