View Full Version : Lump left after bruise?
I got a dark enough bruise on my thigh just above my knee about 2.5 weeks after after a night of drinking. The bruise slowly faded and now it’s kind of a tan colour and 70% gone but when I scratched my leg last night there’s a lump under the bruise? Smaller than the bruise itself maybe peanut/large pea size? I don’t know if it was there since the bruise came and I read you can get lumps under bruises but I’ve convinced myself it’s sarcoma now has anyone has this before?
Totally normal. Think about it. A bruise is caused by blood vessels near the surface of the skin break due to a blow or injury that you can see. The lump is pooled blood under the skin you can't see. It'll go away after a couple of weeks.

Thank you fish your replies are always so helpful! That’s what the logical side of my brain was telling me but I was fighting with myself over it. Gonna keep telling myself this because I can still see the bruise I know that’s what it’s from.
So, so normal! It may take along time for it to go away.
You'll be ok :-)
Yes totally normal. I have one still weeks after I scraped my leg.

In agreement with the others, normal! It’ll go away in time. I had a cut from glass once, pretty sure it bruised too, then a lump formed under the skin. It was there for quite a while if I recall correct but now it’s gone 👍
I have a lump on my shin that's been there for two years after getting kicked in football. I have no idea what it is, but two doctors have said if it's not painful to not worry about it.
Sorry I’m so late getting back to you guys but thank for your replies and yep like you said it’s 80% gone now :)
