Is a hematoma reason for concern?
It depends a lot on how big the hematoma is and what the cause is. The common name for a hematoma is a bruise - a collection of blood under the surface of the skin. In most individuals, bruises are not something to worry about. However in people who experience persistent unexplained bruising, large bruises or bruises which take a very long time to heal, it is worth seeing a doctor to check whether blood clotting function is normal. In instances where you know you have done something which is going to cause a bruise, applying ice or a cold-pack to the area affected as soon as possible will reduce the amount of bruising which occurs.

Does an area of injury always bruise before swelling?
The simple answer here is no. An area of injury may bruise before, during, or after swelling. Depending on the location of the injury, the mechanism of injury, and the time of injury. If the injury is superficial in location, such as a blunt trauma to the skin overlying the thigh, it is common for bruising to occur in conjunction with the swelling. However, these two injury markers are not always present together. For instance, a knee injury will often cause inflammation and swelling of the joint, without any external evidence of bruising. Generally speaking, bruising is a superficial response to injury.
