Brief Answer:
Need not to worry

Detailed Answer:
If it's just a bruise then need not bother much. It'll vanish in couple of days. If it is any swelling associated with lump or the bruise stays for more than a week then you should get a color doppler scan done to rule out varicose vein or deep vein thrombosis.

As of now be relaxed.

Any query do follow up.

All the best.
