Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
probably he developed a hematoma due to slow bleeding.
Usually it clears off in due course.
there is every possibility of this being infected,hence antibiotic may be needed to prevent infection.
Consult surgeon if it doesn't subside.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
