Hello and welcome to HCM,
A blood filled lump or swelling could be hemangioma or blood containing tumor.
A clinical assessment of the lesion is required for better assessment.
Draining th lump with sharp knife may cause infection so it should be avoided.
Hot compresses will relieve pain in case the lump is painful.
Clinical examination is required for further management of the lumpThus, consult your primary healthcare provider.
Thanks and take care
