General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello! Welcome to HCM.
This seems to be a hematoma.
Due to trauma, there is small bleeding under the skin, which forms a clot called as hematoma.
Nothing is to be done as it resorbs spontaneously.
Do you have fever? As this suggests presence of infection, antibiotics should be started with your doctor's advise.
Simple pain killers like diclofenac with serratiopeptidase can be taken after consultation.
Hope this information is useful to you.
Wish you a good health.
Thanks.
Regards.
