This sounds like a bruise under the skin. You can apply cool compresses to the area to relieve discomfort. If the skin was not broken, this should not be much of a concern. However, if there was a break in the skin, even without bleeding, infection is a concern, so observe for continued swelling/redness and if that occurs, please get examined.
