Hi...by what you quote it seems to me that he has got a hematoma in the region and it is getting better. It will initially get soft in the center like this and then change color and then gradually get absorbed by itself. Do not worry. This is a natural phenomenon of healing. Moreover he is doing fine and doesnt complain - so you can be rest assured.
