How To Remove The Knot And Bruise On Shin After Getting Hurt?

I tripped over a plastic crate last week and broke my little toe. I have it taped to my next toe and it seems to be getting better, but I also hit my shin and it has a bruise, of course. It also has a big knot on it. Is this something to worry about? It is very sore.
