Hello,
As per your description it seems like a minor bruises or contusion developed due to some undetected fall or injury. Nothing much to worry as it will settle by it own even without any treatment. You can apply ice packs for faster recovery. If symptoms persist for long or in case of any spread of the lesion, you have to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
