Probable mild trauma: when you injure yourself, you can cause bleeding under the skin. initially, it looks red because blood is read. as the red blood cells break down, the hemoglobin is what is breaking down, intially looks black and will progress to yellow and green before your body absorbs the hemoglobin in the skin.....as long as you aren't in pain, shouldn't be a probem. if you have pain, see your doctor
