Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that blood clot or hematoma forms when a blood vessel leaks into surrounding tissue and size of hematoma varies depending on the cause. Hematoma share usually caused by trauma, cough, unknown event and blood thinner medicines. If you didn't hurt yourself then kindly check if you are taking and blood thinning medication and consult with a Physican for proper evaluation and management.
Hope to have been helpful.
Kind Regards
