Dark Bruise On Inner Thigh. On Plavix. Why Is There A Red Line Over It?

Have a dark impact bruise on inner thigh.- noticed today that a red line appeared in the middle of it. I am on Plavix.
The perimeters of the bruise are turning brown as normal and it is only slightly sore. Since being on blood-thinners, I am used to bruising but this is the first time I've seen a red line through one. Any thoughts?
