Dr. James Burns answered

Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Likely to be: A hematoma, or collection of blood from soft tissue injury. These eventually, and in most individuals resolve over a number of weeks. Use warm compresses beginning a week after injury and continue. If pain worsens consult your doctor.
