Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
The bump is apparently due to skin abrasion/contusion with reflex collection of fluid under the skin.
It doesn't appear to be infected. Hence, cold compresses, covering the bump with a Band-aid and a short course of NSAIDs, such as a combination of ibuprofen + paracetamol should suffice.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, and will prescribe the advised treatment in appropriate dose.
