What are the treatments for a hematoma in the arm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually wait it out.: Usually, you just allow the hematoma to resorb on its own over time. If the hematoma is pressing on nerves or blood vessels, an incision can be made in order to evacuate the hematoma. Another option is to put a needle into the hematoma to attempt to drain it.
