Brief Answer:
It could be due to edema

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Actually, when there is trauma, there will be blood collection called Haematoma in a few people. It gets resolved spontaneously in the course of time. It will be dark brown in color.

As it is yellow in your case, it could be due to.edema.of the skin and subcutaneous fat. There is another possibility of lymph collection in that area due to trauma. Ultrasound of that area will give a clue about any Collection.

Please post a picture if you do not have any objection.

Nothing to worry.
Please consult your doctor and proceed further.

Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.

Wish you good health
Regards
