What Would Cause A Big Sore Lump At The Angiogram Site On The Head After The Procedure?

Had a angiogram 4 days ago as a follow up for a brain aneurism a year ago. Dr. said it was normal and repeat it in 2 years. They put a bandage on it and it bled very little and was just a little sore. Finally took the bandage off yesterday and noticed a lump that is sore about the size of an egg cut in half. Should I be concerned? Called office this morning and talked to nurse - said if it still bothered me in a day or so come in. He is about 2-1/2 hours from my house. Should I apply heat? Massage it? Is this common? Thank you.
