<s>[INST] Fell off chair, hit my shin, large egg on shin very red and very sore, tiny blisters appeared, but after week on medication they are gone. Would heat or cold help? Since I just moved staying off my leg has not been easy, I m 80 years old and have seen my Dr. Feel very slow healing. [/INST] Hello, As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
