Hello sir,
thanks for using healthcaremagic.com
i have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
All the history you have provided is suggestive that you are possibly having a harmless clinical condition called "hematoma".Its nothing but a collection of blood or fluid in the deep tissue that develop at the site of bruise following a blunt trauma.
You don't need to worry regarding this it does not cause any problem apart from cosmetic problem.
You can consult a general surgeon and treatment is by surgical excision or aspiration.Before commencing treatment some conditions like lipoma or sebaceous cyst has to excluded.If there is any diagnostic confusion a biopsy may be needed in which a portion of the lump is taken and examined under microscope.
Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing you good health.

Regards.
Dr.Shinas Hussain
