Brief Answer:
It is Haematoma.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
It is Haematoma, blood clot.
Usually, small haematoma's resolve spontaneously in course of time.
As your haematoma has not resolved till now, it is better to consult your doctor and get checked.
If it is soft, it can be evacuated by small incision.
If it is hard, you can leave it.
It is of concern only when it is enlarging.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.
If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
