Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns....

As per your complain it seems that due to injury there have been ruptured blood vessels leading to spillage of blood into the soft tissues around the eye and black blue discoloration is due to it..
The lump is formed due to inflammation of soft tissues as well as Hematoma formation..
You can consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated to rule out for any fractures..
If it is not so then the black and blue bruising needs not to be worried..
The bruising will resolve gradually on its own..
Do alternate warm and cool compresses over the lump and around eye for faster resolution of lump..
Apply Heparin containing gel over bruised area as it will help in faster disintegration of blood and help in fading it faster..
But apply it away from eye..
Give Acetaminophen for pain..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
