What Could Be The Large Lump On Hand After Accidentally Hitting It?

I hit the side of my hand full force with a hammer today while remodeling our bowling alley. It instantly started bleeding profusely for about 30 minutes. Since the bleeding has stopped my hypothenar muscles are extremely sore and I have like a hard lump where I accidentally hit it. I ve been using ice for 20 minutes every hour, but it is still really large and hot to the touch. Could this lump just possibly be a blood blister that is extremely hard? Or possibly just badly bruised?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have haematoma formation. You have clear cut history of injury. After that there is extravasation of blood. Haematoma and bruise is common. You should take anti inflammatory plus analgesic drug. If needed go for dressing of your wound.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
