Yes, ....: Apparently, you got ecchymosis (bruise) from bleeding by severe contusion, which may slowly extend and expand to a wide degree and span over 3-5 days, and will spontaneously resolve over 2-8 weeks leaving almost no residual mark but not always. As to when to resume exercise, you may do so as long as being tolerable & no undue swelling. More? Seek evaluation and counseling.
