Hello,
It is nothing but a simple contusion. It is quite common after a blunt injury and is due to collection of blood underneath the skin.
Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.
As of now you can apply icepacks for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
