Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the lump on chin post an injury is indicative of hematoma following soft tissue or bone injury. There are distinctive features of both of such injuries as soft tissue injury will not that grave disturbances with jaw movements as opposed to that of bone injury. However, a clinical examination is appropriate to take final decision regarding the cause and type of hematoma with its precise management. Till the time being approach, ice application serves best for swelling reduction.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
