I strongly suggest you see your doctor. While not meaning to scare you, my son as a teenager severely bruised his shin. Weeks later the swelling had gone down and the discoloration disappeared but he had a small lump on his shin. When I took him in to my Doctor for a routine exam before school he noticed the lump. Upon explaining what had happened he immediately sent us to the hospital for an X-ray. They found that an infection was occurring just slightly below the skin and edging toward the bone. If it gone on any longer he might have lost his leg. I don’t remember how it was treated but he was in the hospital overnight. I thought my doctor was overreacting at the time. God bless Dr. Sia.

The fact that you are here asking for advice means that you are concerned at this point. It may be unrelated to your injury or something as simple as a cyst that has to be drained,
There is only one way to find out.

Let us know your decision.
