What Causes Hard Painful Lump In Thumb After An Injury?

I hurt my arm when running out a door, hit the door frame so hard. I didn t apply any ice pack and now there s a decent side lump under the skin (about the size of a whole thumb. It s not super hard lump, it s kind of between hard and soft (bouncy?) and moves when I press on one side. It s not very painful to the touch. What can cause this? And how long does it take for the lump to go down?

HI,Dear,Thanks for the query to HCM.
I understood your concerns about the painful lump in thump-post trauma.
The lump described by you is -Hematoma and is caused by the bleeding vessels post-trauma, collecting beneath the skin -causing the lump.
-I would take atleast-2-3 wks to go down if treated property from your doctor.
Hope this would help you to plan the treatment with Your family doctor.
Wishing you early recovery.
