Dermatologist,  's  Response
Sometimes due to trauma to the vessels some of the blood ooze out into the dermis that gives blackish color for some weeks...
If it is asymptomatic than nothing to worry about just apply thrombophobe ointment twice a day for 7 days,,it will go soon
If you are experiencing any associated pain than it could be thrombophelebitis i.e inflammation of the vessel due to clot of blood, if so then you should seek a doc advice and take antibiotic course like augmentin-625 thrice a day for 7 days along with analgesic like tab aceclofenac with meals..
thanks
