Hi,
Due to trauma, there is a collection of blood in the leg tissue. It is called hematoma. Usually such lesion subside in few days with rest.
It's advisable to avoid strenuous activities and take rest for few days. You can post a photo of the lesion to comment further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
