A member asked:
I was in an accident 8/11/16 and diagnosed with a subcutaneous abdominal hematoma. the bruise is nearly gone but i can feel a knot in the middle. is this normal? also, i have a sinus infection. could that infect the hematoma? i'm on antibiotics
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: The knot is typical for the healing process as the old blood is reabsorbed by the body. The site would not become infected as a result of an un- or undertreated sinus infection.
