A lump over a healed injury is usually due to scar tissue or a small collection under the skin, rather than a fresh clot, and it may take time to settle. You can gently massage the area and keep the skin moisturised, and a warm compress may help improve blood flow and reduce swelling slowly. Avoid pressing or injuring the area again. If the lump is painful, increasing in size, or not improving, consult your doctor for proper advice.

  1. Apply Topical Ointment:a. Utilize Cipladine 5% Ointment, applying a small amount to the swollen area twice daily.

  2. Cold Compress:a. Apply a cold compress to the lump for 15-20 minutes, 2-3 times a day, to reduce swelling.

  3. Monitor Symptoms:a. Observe for any signs of infection like increased pain, redness, or pus discharge, and seek medical attention if these occur.

  4. Rest and Elevation:a. Rest the affected area and, if possible, keep it elevated to minimize swelling.

  5. Consult Healthcare Provider:a. If the swelling persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
