Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The lump is related to an injury.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation .
I also suggest using cold compres for local application.
The lump will gradually disappear.
Hope my answer was helpful.

Kind regards!
