Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. After a trauma swelling could be hematoma formation, or an infected collection after the trauma, due to infiltration of the pathogens. 2. Yes I think its good if you see some medical personnel, as it needs to examine and a course of antibiotic will help.3. If bigger and not reactive for treatment - a small incision and Chat Doctor. 4. Suggest an ultrasound before procedure - that will help in identification of the nature of lump and its source and extensions. 5. Better see your GP he will help you what to do. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query.Anything to ask do not hesitate. Thank you.
