HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The large dark spot means that there may have been rupture of a superficial blood vessel or cyst, this would normally heal with treatment which would include rest and anti inflammatory medication such as naproxen or ibuprofen
If the pain is severe, you should be seen by your doctor.
I hope this helps
