Welcome to Health care magic.

1.The possible cause one can think of after a trauma, small bruise increasing in size - infective aetiology with collection of pus within.
2.Then vascular abnormality also could be cause, finally lymph nodal enlargement due to local infection / inflammation.
3.Definitive diagnosis in this case can be done after examination - i would have send for an ultrasound examination of the swelling / lump.
4.The ultrasound will give nature of the lump, its sours and extensions.
5.After that needful treatment steps can be taken.
6.Mean while as a remedy - do not scratch / compress the area, maintain local hygiene,avoid any irritant cloths over the area for better healing, antiseptic cleaning would help. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
