Brief Answer: Cleaning properly, Anti inflammatory and analgesic Detailed Answer: Hi and thanks for the query, The main problem in this case tackling the inflammatory process and controlling the pain. Cleaning the area with slightly warm clean water and keeping it very dry is the first step. In case you do not have any history of gastric ulcers or gastritis, a simple anti inflammatory medication would be sufficient. Ibuprofen 400mg, two tablets thrice daily for about five days should sufficient. The drug should be taken about 20 minutes after meals. If you have a past history of peptic ulcer disease or gastritis, a cylco oxygenase 2 inhibitor, less agressive to stomach should be taken. Celexocibs like Colcibra 200mg , one tablet daily for about seven days should be sufficient. Another simple Analgesic to help in pain control like Paracetamol 500mg, two tablets twice daily (2000mg) should be grossly sufficient. I am afraid it might necessary to seek advice from your primary care physician in case you are used to some serious health concerns. If not, take the drugs carefully and monitor carefully the symptoms. IN case health condition stays stable, aggravates or you notice something unusual, do not hesitate consulting your primary care physician. Thanks and kind regards as I wish you the best of health. Please, feel free asking follow up questions in case of need. Dr Bain

Brief Answer: No worries for now Detailed Answer: Hi and thanks for the follow up question, From the description and the image seen, I do not think you need be bothered that much with respect to whether it shall go away or marks or permanent scarring. In case you had not had this before (meaning, the lump came only after the fall), this lump should simple be an inflammation that led to swelling and some hardening. this is a normal response of the body to traumatic situations. With an appropriate anti inflammatory treatment over a proper time duration, healing should be favorable. Considering that this is a simple traumatic pain, and the specific area affected, and judging from the image seen, from my experience, I really do not think scarring or marks should be a major concern to you at this point in time. I do suggest you should not worry. I think the healing should be ok. Thanks and hope this helps. Please, do feel free asking further questions in case of need. Kind regards. DR Bain
