Haematoma formation suggests that there have been bleeding in the wound. There are usually two course - either it dissolves spontaneously or it may suppurate. It would be better to get it evacuated. If it is not possible, then have a course of prophylactic antibiotics along with proteolytics to avoid suppuration.
