Hi,
Bruising and discoloration are common after trauma. If things are settling, ie swelling and pain is reduced you should not worry then. The discolouration will resolve with time. Don't worry.
If you have any previous history of excessive bleeding or family history of excessive bleeding then you should see your doctor. This is least. Likely it still a pint to be considered.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
