Hi,

It is nothing but a collection of blood underneath the skin that developed following a trivial trauma.

Generally, it will settle by itself without any definite treatment.

You can apply ice packs for faster recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
