Go have that looked at. Any place with NUMBNESS is BAD.
I was in a car accident several years ago and had a nasty bruise on my calf - it was a spot where the veins and nerves had all been crushed and it got infected! Because of the reduced blood flow, antibiotics could not move into the infected area. I was VERY sick and the doctors decided to treat with a stronger antibiotic and a blood thinner to try to get it into the affected area. If if didn't work, there would be surgery to remove the necrotized tissue.
Yikes!
It did work, but I have a lump and discoloration there, along with a numb spot the size of a 50 cent piece.
Have it looked at!

It does sound like a hematoma, and I second the recommendation to have it looked at by a health care provider ASAP.
