You seem to have a hematoma and it would be prudent to see a doctor to ascertain the cause of abnormal bleeding. Are you taking any blood thinners, including aspirin? If you are taking aspirin, please avoid that.

Sounds like a trauma of some sort to cause the swelling and bleeding. Obtain an evaluation to find the cause.
