Hi!
In all probability the lump is a contusion caused by injury and bleeding. Blood may have collected in the area below the skin causing the bluish-purple discoloration. You can apply a broad spectrum antibacterial cream. Along with that you can apply ice pack two to three times a day. If you do not get relief in 2 days, then consult a doctor please.
Take care!
