bruise?

I bruised my shin last week and it came up in a lump... it's been constantly hurting. Now the bruise seems to have gone but it come up as a giant red mark? It looks like a burn but feels like servire sunburn and hurts when I walk and make contact?

Also, the redness could be an infection...

It sounds like extra fluid build up from the swelling and it may need to be drained by your doctor. If it is causing you a lot of problems, go to your doctor.
