Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
From the picture you have sent it appears that you have hit some blunt object which you might be unaware off. That has caused this small bulging.
Whether it is associated with Confusion, Nausea or vomiting, Blurred vision, headache.
From the information that you have provided i don't think you need to worry much, you will be fine in a day or two. You can apply ice packs on that and nothing else.
I advice you to see physician if the symptom's severity increases or it is associated with blurred vision, nausea vomiting.
Hope I have provided the information you needed.
Wish you good health. Take care.
