Bruises not going away

Hello! I don't know whether to be alarmed by this or ignore, but it's niggling me.

I 'hit' my shin two months ago (impact like a door swinging into it, not a fall if that makes a difference) normal bruising/swelling and tenderness at the time. However it's been two months and the bruise/slight swelling is still there. Definitely not a break (could walk with a slight limp the next day, wasn't too painful and it's certainly not causing problems now). What, if anything, should I do about this? I wouldn't normally expect a bruise to take more than a week or two to go away.
