Hello
This softened spot seems to be due to a local hematoma due to the local bleeding caused by injury.
The feeling of pressure is because of this hematoma only.
Since you don't have any other symptom,nothing has to be done in particular.
Your symptoms shall go away once this hematoma gets resolved of it's own and may take around three weeks in doing so.
Thanks
