Welcome to health care magic.

1.The history and symptoms suggest features of trauma with localised swelling.
2.This swelling could be due to the infective collection in the subcutaneous region.
3.Other possible causes localised oedema / cellulite features.
4.An x-ray to rule out the bone involvement, and ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis of extent of the lesion / collection.
5.Treatment mostly include a course of antibiotic treatment with a localised warm compression and anti inflammatory cream. Good luck.

Hope i have answered your query.
