Hello,

It can be a minor contusion and which is extremely common after a trauma. Nothing much to worry and in most cases they will settle by itself without any further complications. As of now you can apply icepacks for faster recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
