Big Bruise on leg and bump underneath

So, I ran into a table 2 weeks ago. Got a huge black and blue mark....aka bruise. Then a week later I could feel a definite, round, pea-like bump in the middle of the bruise. The bruise looks much better, but the bump is still there. Am I paranoid? I just do not remember ever being able to "feel" the bruise in my former life. I did the search thing on bruising, but did not see any references to bumps "under the bruise." Oh and yesterday, it felt all itchy. Any ideas? I am 2 years and 3 months past DX, I feel great, but get paranoid from time to time. Really do not want to call the onc office and go in and be told it is a recovering bruise. Any ideas?

Thanks, Catherine
