Thanks for the query
A bump after a fall without any significant sign or symptoms (vomitings/drowsiness /altered consciousness/abnormal movements of limbs/weakness of any part of body) is of not much significance.
The area under the bump is dark because of the clotted blood, and it should not be worrisome and no such adverse effect at all can happen as mentioned by you.
Hopefully the discoloration will disappear over the time.
