Hello,

It could be a hematoma only.

It is nothing but a collection of blood underneath the skin.

Nothing much to worry as it will settle by itself. You can apply icepacks for faster recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
