Swelling And Lump In Eye. Do I Need To Worry ?

I got punched in the side of my right eye and it caused some swelling and bruising throughout my whole eye and the side of it near my temple. Its been 7 days and the swelling is gone and the bruising is also going away but ive developed a lump on the side of the eye where I was hit. Is this dangerous?
