Hello,
It is quite common after trauma. It is because of the collection of blood underneath the skin after a trauma.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
You can also apply ice packs for symptomatic relief.
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.
