Hi,
It is a post traumatic bruise and its normal to have bruise after a minor injury as the blood vessels are fragile. It doesn't seem to be a problem for now but you should keep an eye on this. In future if you notice easy bruisability with minor injury get your clotting profile done.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
