Welcome to health care magic.

1.After a trauma swelling could be haematoma formation, or an infected collection after the trauma, due to infiltration of the pathogenies.
2.Yes i think its good if you see some medical personnel, as it needs to examine and a course of antibiotic will help.
3.If bigger in size and not reactive for treatment - a small incision and drainage will be ideal followed by a course of antibiotics.
4.Suggest an ultrasound before procedure - that will help in identification of the nature of lump and its source and extensions.
5.Better see your GP he will help you what to do. Good luck.

Hope i have answered your query.
