Hi...usually a bruise will resolve in a week or two. More than this it should not be there. The next possibility I think of is a bug bite allergy. The other possibility is a cellulitis or a skin infection. But, Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.
