Due to trauma,blood is collected beneath the skin.It will get resolved spontaneously in few days.If artery is injured,there will be collection of blood and it will be expanding.You should consult a doctor and proceed further.If there is active bleeding,the blood vessel will be tied.
You should also get an X-ray chest to rule out bony injury.
Nothing to worry.It will come down.
Please take Anti inflammatory tablets (pain killers) till doctor's consultation.
