Is A Painless Bump In Shin (because Of Injury) Dangerous?

My 20 yr old son hit his shin on January first...there is a fairly hard swollen bump still smack dab in middle of his right shin...should we be worried that it is still swollen? no pain, he works out at gym just fine...swelling has gone down since injury happened...
