HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Trauma can result in the formation of swelling at the site of injury.
Initially it is due to the inflammatory response from the injury but then scar tissue can form at the site.
Due to remodelling (part of the healing), the lump would decrease in size but it may take a few weeks to months , in some cases.
I hope this helps
