Hi,
There seems to be a big collection of blood under the skin caused by this injury. It may cause pressure symptoms on the nerves/vessels. Take him to the ER or hospital for proper treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nirmal Chander Gupta,
