Hematoma: blood collection under or in muscles will cause painful lump. The bruises you see are closer to the skin and smaller. They are more visible And they resolve sooner. Al is good.

Hematoma: how did u get the bruise? Do u know? Did it suddenly appear or was there a cause? When a bruise heals, it slowly disappears, however a lump maybe what we call a hematoma which is a collection of blood that will take longer to dissipate.
