Hello,
It is quite common after the fall. It is nothing but a collection of blood underneath the skin.
Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself. As first-line management, you can apply icepacks for faster recovery.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
