Hi,

It may be ecchymosis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. There is no need to worry. It may vanish within few weeks.. as it is oozing blood below the skin . I would recommend you to apply thrombophob oint. to enhance the improvement. Also take Tab vitamin C 500 mg thrice a day and tab vitamin K.

Hope this helps.
