How To Cure Lump On The Chin After Hitting?

Hello, A couple of hours ago, I fell on concrete while ripsticking around my neighbor hood. I fell on my chin and my right knee, but I am more concered about my chin. There is a large bump, uneven from the right side of my chin, and is not by my jaw. I iced it, and also took ibuprofen. My parents say it is just swelling, and it will go away later. Now, 3 hours later, I notice not so much of a difference. Also, the results are that there is no damage done to my gums, and teeth. But there is a cut and some scrapes under, and on my chin. I can move my jaw perfectly, some with my neck and shoulders. I m getting pretty scared, and confused. What do you think it is, and how can I fix this without going to the doctors?
