I'm not sure what that is either. Could be a feather cysts but just a guess.

I've done something similar with blisters on my fingers--insert a sewing needle to make a hole, pull the needle back out, gently squish the blister so the fluid goes out the hole. They feel better when the fluid is no longer stretching the skin.He stuck the needle in at the base of the hematoma and pulled the blood out of the swelling. It took several sticks until he had sucked out enough blood and fluid where it no longer hurt like the devil was chomping my arm.
It cost me $500. I vowed next time I'd do it myself, it's such a simple straightforward procedure.
Mine weren't blood blisters, just the normal blisters full of clear fluid that happen when you use an unfamiliar tool or wear the wrong shoes. Given how much better they feel with the fluid out, I was thinking about how much the big hematoma must hurt!Hematomas are much larger than blood blisters. Mine was the size of an egg.
I do not envy your medical history.That lump looks like a hematoma to me. Sudden trauma can cause them to materialize in minutes. Good news is they aren't life threatening most of the time.
You can treat it or wait until it absorbs into his tissues, which could take a month or more. Or it can be lanced with a hypodermic syringe. You can get those on line where pet vet supplies are sold.
I had a tree I was felling fall the wrong way and it hit my forearm. It was enough force to break my arm, but luckily my bones appear to be made of strong stuff. The hematoma, however, was certainly more pain than I preferred to live with for weeks, so I saw a surgeon who lanced it with a big syringe and needle large enough to drive a truck through. He stuck the needle in at the base of the hematoma and pulled the blood out of the swelling. It took several sticks until he had sucked out enough blood and fluid where it no longer hurt like the devil was chomping my arm.
