Hi,
It could be a small subcutaneous (underneath the skin) hematoma. You can apply icepacks for faster recovery. If size increase or other lesions arises, better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
