Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for posting to us.
This suggests a contusion there. The discolouration and swelling might take few more days to settle down. We need further evaluation and active treatment only if any of the following features:
1. Progressive increase in size
2. Surrounding warmth/tenderness
3. The swelling becomes fluctuant to touch(like fluid collected inside)
If nothing like that, just leave it
I hope this answer will help
Stay relaxed
I will be happy to help if you need further assistance
