In September of last year (2013), roughly nine months ago, I fell onto the ridge of a low dressing table. I fell HARD with a heavy shelf on top of me from behind, & this resulted in a very severe subdermal hematoma on my thigh. The bruising didn't go away for over a month. Eventually the bruise disappeared, but I was left with a dent in my thigh. Is massaging the area effective treatment or do I need fat injected? It's unsightly, about an inch in diameter and a more than a few centimeters deep.
