Hi i fell cycling this morning and have a quite a large swollen bruise on my leg . what is the best way to treat it ?

See below : Hi there, I’m sorry to hear that, you should clean the wound with soap and water, making sure that you are currently protected with your tetanus vaccine and let the wound heal by itself keeping it clean. If it’s bleeding swollen or with pus like discharge you should seek medical attention ASAP
