How Can A Lump On The Forearm Be Treated?

I just fell from tree trimming. About 5-6 feet. Thought I just had a few scrapes. Don't feel any pain. But after sitting down for a bit I noticed a large lump on my forearm. I am not in any pain. Put ice on it. Going down. Is there any reason I need to get it checked out?

Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com

* This is due to post traumatic hematoma formation .

* Continue ice application 3 - 4 times a day , with elevation of the arm till
possible .
In case it is large size , I would strongly recommend to consult your PCP
to get medications in form of antibiotics and anti inflammatory agents
which will -- prevent secondary infection
-- help early resolution of current lump
-- take care of pain component
