Wait: Looks like you developed a collection of blood in the area you fell. Leave it alone if it doesn't cause any discomfort. It will take several weeks to resolve on its own

Lump on buttocks: May be a hematoma and that is still resorbing, or may have become cystic or fibrosed or bony- myositis ossificans or rarely may be a mass ( fibroma, hemangioma,neurofibroma that came to light after trauma . Would consider sonogram/ xray to identify the nature of the bump. Consider massage and warm soaks and time, sometimes excision is needed f/u/ w/ doc
