Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . The lump after injury is a common thing . The most probable reason for the lump is soft tissue injury and formation of hematoma . It is the collection of blood under the soft tissue due to rupture of blood vessels .

I would suggest you to give cold compresses to your chin to relieve the selling ,elevate you head above your heart while sleeping and take ibuprofen (if not allergic ) or paracetamol for pain and swelling . Also get a tetanus injection.

If condition doesn't start getting better then consult doctor or surgeon for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may perform physical examination or order X-ray to rule out cause like fracture or infection and treat it accordingly. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics or fix the fracture if it is there .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
