Hematoma: You most likely have a collection of blood under the skin from the trauma. This is not dangerous. It should go away over the next 2-4 weeks. You could use a heating pad at its mid setting for 20 minutes at a time to help promote resolution of the hematoma. No matter what it will eventually resolve.
