Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bump on the forearm after hitting. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like hematoma , soft tissue injury or fracture . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , x-ray along with physical examination . Doctor may give plaster , prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory and pain killer . For now apply ice pack for first 48 hours , then apply warm compresses and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
