A hardened hematoma means that there is still bleeding inside the hematoma. If the hematoma hardens superficially under the skin and does not form a scar or become infected, it will usually go away; if the hematoma is large or becomes infected, it will not go away and will need to be surgically removed.
1. When the hematoma hardens: The absorption of hematoma is a natural physiological process.
When the hematoma hardens superficially under the skin, and local scarring and infection are not formed, the hematoma can be gradually eliminated by absorbing the blood through proper protection of the wound, no longer allowing the skin to continue to be damaged, and to be treated with anti-infective (e.g., taking amoxicillin, etc.), or by extracting the blood within the hematoma and applying pressure bandages to stop the bleeding and other treatments.
2. Can not be eliminated: when the hard lump is large or in the internal organs, due to the ability of self-absorption and healing is particularly poor, it is generally difficult to subside, need to be injected with snake venom hemagglutinin and other drugs to stop the bleeding treatment, and if necessary, surgical treatment.
If the hematoma becomes hard, you need to actively consult a professional doctor to deal with it, so as to avoid affecting the recovery.
