What Does Bruising And Puss Like Something In A Month Old Bruise, From An Accident, Indicate?

I got into an accident a while ago that left a small cut and heavy bruising on my skin around 6 weeks ago. After the bruising went away there was still a hard lump under the skin but it didn't hurt or anything. Yesterday I noticed it was starting to feel like it was bruised again and today I noticed that the top layer of skin there feels filmy and like there might be pus or something in there. What should I do?

Hi. Nothing serious. Your findings are suggestive of a retained small foreign body under the skin . It will either come out with the pus and better get it dressed by a Doctor one .
