Bloods travels : No injury to your penis. Likely the blood/bruise traveled with a layer of the fat causing the bruising near your penis. Will go away just like a regular bruise in 3-4 weeks.

Bruising: This is probably nothing to worry about. It is common for the blood from the injury to spread out through the tissue nearby.

Bruising: Blood collection in tissues after trauma can shift location with change in position and the effects of gravity. For example, knee surgery may result in visible bruising around the ankle, a distance away from the surgical site.
