Painless Bruise On The Front Of Ankle. What Is This?

I have a random bruise the size of my fist on the front if my ankle. It's greenish blue around the outside and pink/purple on the inside that color is the darkest. It has no pain at all. It was not there when I went to bed that I remember but definitely was not there when I woke up yesterday morning. I did not hit my leg. What is this?!?!!

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some poisonous insect bite giving rise this problem.
Take anti histamin like Cetrizine or Benadryl for 2-3 days.
If require go for one antibiotic medicine course.
Apply ice pack for 2-3days.
Ok and take care.
