Hi sir,
We need more information.
We need to know about the type of swelling like size, colour, is it movable and others.

Differential diagnosis i wld like to consider.
1. Bruise
2. Just an trauma induced swelling.

So, it needs thorough clinical examination before v decide wat it is.

Kindly meet a physician and check wat it is. if its a fatty tumour, a simple test FNAC will tell the diagnosis.

Once diagnosed, the problem can be treated accordingly.
