Go get checked.: If infection, will get worse until properly treated.Impossible to guess what it is without examination. Good luck.

Get it checked: Sounds as if there has been some kind of trauma? Fall/impact/other? It definitely should be checked by a dr, likely in an er so ct or other imaging can be obtained if indicated.
