It may be a hematoma due to bleeding when you got hit and the bleeding also seeped down to cause a black eye. Usually after 10 days the swelling becomes soft and liquifies as hematoma resolves but if it is hard as bone, then it may be getting calcified. Get X-ray skull done to look for calcification. If there is calcification developing in the soft tissue, it may become permanent and then for cosmetic reasons may need excision.
