Thank you for contacting Healthcare Magic. This problem is a very common side effect from taking blood thinners like aspirin. You may notice more bruising and bruising or bleeding more easily. The hematoma is a natural occurrence after a trauma like a fall or hit. The hematoma will gradually resolve itself but if it is large it may take weeks to completely go away
