Hello,
There is nothing to worry regarding this.Accidental puncturing of needle might have caused some local bruising resulting in local swelling and greenish tinge.
There is nothing to worry as nothing untoward is going to take place unless and until you have infections like HIV or Hepatitis B,which can be transmitted to your daughter.
Thanks
