No need to worry about.
Its a kind of normal body response to the injury called inflammation... It is characterised by pain, redness,swelling,hottness if the effected area..This bump is due to accumulation of extracellular fluid which contain useful products for maintain the normal structure...

You can say that your body immune system is fighting for down there in the bump..
It will disappear in one week...
For pain you can take ibuprofen 400mg twice a day...

Hope you'd understand...
