Need Treatment For Hematoma On The Groin Area

I believe I have a hematoma due to my seat belt due to auto accident. My primary has ordered cat scan. How do I identify it as such? also, I have hard type of contusions along groin area. Basicaly, seatbelt location. Is this an accumilation of old blood? Could this be bacterial in nature? I was treated for nroken ribs and pain control but nothing for these contusions. This is concerning considering swelling has increased daily. I thank you.
