What Causes Swelling And Bruising On The Bicep?

My sons Bicep has swollen up, his arm is bigger than the other one. There also seems to be slight bruising on the bicep, and there seems to be a lump in his arm pit. This has lasted for about 10 days. It s not painful just uncomfortable. This transpires after he was lifting weights.
