Hello,
* There is a strong possibility of an underlying hematoma between different layers of thigh fascia and muscles.
* An immediate evaluation with soft tissue ultrasound is mandatory to find out the root cause and treat accordingly.
Till that time, ice application will serve best relieving tool here.
