[|Human|] I bruised my ankle badly and there is a hard bump. It s been over a week and the injury looks likes a bullseye (white bump in center surrounded by purple/red bruise). It doesn t hurt. My LPN friend noticed it and told me that I needed to watch it. A. What should I be watching for? B. Do I need to be concerned?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, this hard bump most probably formed due to hematoma formation (collection of blood) which might get fibrosis or calcified. It will take few weeks to months to get disappear. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination of swelling. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.Meanwhile, give hot fomentation over it, You can take Tablet Motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (up to 4 tablets daily). I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
