Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Most likely there is some blood collection under the skin. Due to the injury blood vessels were ruptured what caused the hematoma. If it is a small lump, your body should absorb it by its own. However in some cases such hematoma needs to be drained.
I suggest you to consult a general surgeon with it. In case of doubts, an ultrasound can be done.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
