General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It is due to contusion which is nothing but a collection of blood underneath the skin after a blunt trauma.

Generally, it will settle by itself without much complications.

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,
