Brief Answer:
Can be due to fibrosis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A hard and slightly tender nodule can be due to a fibrosis after a hematoma formation. If the swelling is not increasing in size or is not very painful or red then you can wait and see if it subsides on its own gradually with hot compress.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
