Thanks for asking
blacking around eye is due to effect of trauma. Although direct trauma is not at that site but as a result of trauma to other aide of head blood collection occurred around eye. As tissue around eye is soft and there is lot of space for collection. Nothing to worry about this black spot as this will clear with time.
But yu should visit your hospital and rule out any other injury in head. Whether there is any collection inside scalp bone , if it is there should be removed surgically.
hope this clears your doubt.
