Hi,
From history it seems that you had hematoma on the part and now there might be having infection giving rise to this problem.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
He may go for a course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course.
He may go for aspiration of blood form hematioma.
Ok and take care.
