What Is The Numbness In My Bruise After An Accident?

Was in a car accident on 11/14/13. Received bad bruising on my shins from a knee air bag when it deployed and the hard plastic rammed into my shins. One of the bruises developed a white circle in the center and just that white circle has no feeling. What could it be?

Injury leads to inflammation I.e swelling, this leads to impinging on d nerves that causes loss of sensation of peripheral nerves. This is harmless and reverses once d swelling starts coming down
