Respected User,hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
It`s post-traumatic hematoma formation following subcutaneous bleed.
Nothing to hesitate more Dear take certain precautions :
* Apply ice 3-4 times a day regularly.
* Apply Thrombophobe ointment over the area with gentle application starting
from center to periphery 4-5 times a day.
* Avoid excess texting / computer work for 2-3 days.
* Can take analgesic tablets if more pain mor and eve after meals.
* Consult your family doctor if pain increases / redness with fever appears.
Hope this clears your query.
