It is probably because you have hit your bruise and formed a lump there.
I need to know that answer
Bruises mean that some capillaries broke, and they bled under the skin. The hard lump is most likely from the bleeding. As the bruise fades away, the lump should go away with it.
Generally, the best practice is to apply ice within the first 24 hours.

yes

A contusion, or bruise, occurs when small capillaries leak blood into tissue under the skin. To stop bleeding, the body sends platelets to "clot" the blood. This small clot acts like a door so the capillary won't leak more. As the capillary heals, the lump goes away. As the body reabsorbs blood from the tissues, the bruise heals. For the first 48-72 hours, you can use ice, 10-15 minutes on, then off... several times a day. Then, switch to moist heat, such as a warm washcloth.
No. It has a lump, pain, and a bruise! I now pay better attention when I am walking. If I were to interpret this question, I would guess it means: Why didn't my shin bruise when I banged it, but a lump formed and it hurts?! A bruise will only form if a blood vessel is damaged. Tissue damage anywhere (shin included) will cause an inflammatory response (LUMP and PAIN). You damaged tissue, but no blood vessels.
It is possible that the lump is caused from the trauma from the bite. It is kind of like a bruise but the blood pools into one place. If it is a bruise, the lump would be tender and should disappear in a couple of days if you massage and rotate it (this will disperse the pooled blood). Unfortunately there are many other things this lump could be - from swollen lymph nodes to a small benign growth to breast cancer. Please go and see a doctor about it if it is still there in a week. oh!my god!
If you are diabetic and you inject yourself in your thigh(s),scar tissue can build up leaving a hard lump there.
