Suggest Remedy For Black Marks & Clots In Cheek

Hi my infant baby fell on her cheek and this has led to a black mark similar to a blood clot along with a slight depression in a form of a line. This mark is now there for the past couple of months and shows no sign of fading. Is there any way to reduce the mark
