Dear welcome to hcm and thanks for choosing us.
The lump you are seeing is a blood clot under the bruised skin. It will take time to disappear completely. Blackening of eye will also take longer time.
Keep taking anti inflammatory/analgesic tablets if you have pain . It may take two more weeks to completely cured. Take care in future.
I hope my reply will help you. Please write to me or hcm for follow up queries. I wish you rapid and complete recovery. Thanks
