A hard lump under my skin where I had a scrape, possibly a cyst?

My leg got scraped and and is almost healed, there is a slight red outline where it was. I just noticed that there is a hard lump where the scrape happened. Under a light there is a yellow color, possibly pus, where a majority of the lump is. Around the yellow the skin is bruise colored. Is this a cyst? Will it go away over time?

Try using a warm moist compress on the area and it should clear up.
