Mancunian in self imposed exile in leafy Cheshire

I had an off about a week and a half ago. I hit the road fairly hard at speed and suffered a bit of road rash some bruising, thankfully no broken bones. Most of the issues are clearing up but I have a lump about 10 cm across where I have no nerve feeling and it reacts as though there is fluid under the skin. I know this is a hematoma, but looking at online advice there seems to be a cross section of opinion as to the best recovery tactic. I have been riding as usual with no elevated/increased symptoms, but can't lie on that side in bed and it can be a little tender still. Some people say continue as usual others says rest up. There is also a split on if draining via a doctor is a good idea or it increases infection risk and waiting is a better approach.
Anyone been through a similar injury?
