Suggest Remedy For Bruises And Lumps On Forearm

I got kicked in the forearm during martial arts sparing and had a huge bruise. It was tender to touch and bruise lasted almost 2 weeks. Normal so far. After that I felt a small lump near bruise site that cause sharp pain when touched. After messing with it the other day, overnight the area swelled to larger than a golf ball size. It hurts to push on it or if I lean on a table or desk. Not hot to touch and not bruised or red. Swelling went down a bit in the last 3 days. Should I wait it out?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
u might have a collection of blood at the trauma site. as per your history luckily it hasn't got an infection. Still have a X-ray of forearm to rule out minor fracture. but if it becomes hot or u get fever, consult a surgeon.
