What Is The Cause For Bruise Or Skin Discoloration On My Chin ?

i noticed dime sized dark skin discoloration on my chin after a shower today. it tapers off on one side Im not sure if it was there when i woke up. What might of caused this and should i be worried? could it be ringworm? It is raised a little bit from the surrounding skin and is sensitive to the touch but does not hurt. I think it might just be a bruise but i dont know.

You might have something bite causing locallized allergy,
It may be bruise due to some scratch mark.
