Lump on calf
I have a lump on the lateral side of my left leg calf muscle. I think I hit my calf on the side of the bed but I don't remember. The lump has been there since 1.5 weeks now. The skin over the lump is normal (not red) and it hurts on pressing down on the lump. It has reduced in size in the last couple days, but it's still fairly big. About the size of the top of my thumb. I'm worried it may be something serious, bruises usually go away earlier, right?
