It seems like a small trauma, possibly a superficial skin wound.From the pic I cannot understand if it could be a lump/growth or not. If it is just a skin wound, it is certainly really a minor injury and it should not require any special care. Just monitor for any further swelling, and keep the are clean with water. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
