Thanks

Welcome to health care magic.

1. There is a history of trauma / hit and lump on the jaw - the possible cause could be hematoma formation / subcutaneous oedema.
2.In this case i can advise you to apply diclofenac cream - will give the symptomatic treatment.
3.However you need to visit your GP and get examined and treated accordingly.
4.Mean while do not disturb the lump - as it will only complicate or delay in healing process.

Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
