Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
You seem to have got a hematoma (blood clot) following the trauma. There is nothing to worry about it, as it should resolve in a week or so, depending upon its size.
But you need to keep a watch on it, as if it becomes warn and red with pain, then you need to get it drained under antibiotic cover, as it means that it has got infected.
Hope I have been helpful.
Regards,
Dr. Ashish Verma
