Bump on the Bridge of my Nose After Being Head Butted

roarrr123
I was head butted during a soccer game, which left a somewhat sore nose and a cut on the bridge of my nose. I did not bleed from my nose (other than the cut) and there was no bruising. Also, my nose looked straight, so i found no need to go to the doctor. Now, after a week, the cut is still healing, but there seems to be a bump on the bridge of my nose under the cut. What would cause this? Am I going to have to get corrective surgery?
