HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The bruise should resolve on its own. It may not completely return to normal but should disappear for the most part, this can take a long time. The discolouration likely represents further breakdown of any scar tissue or blood.
If you are concerned then you can consider visiting your doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
