Contusion : Discoloration of scrotum is not normal, especially after several days from surgery. Please go back to surgeon as soon as possible and most likely will need ultrasound of the area. Hope it is just trivial injury. Good luck.

Do not worry: Your description fits for scrotal skin bruising. Small abount of blood has tracked down under skin of penis and iunder scrotal skin. Blood tends to collect at lowest point possible, so after circumcision it's not uncommon for blood to track down into scrotum. It will disappear soon.
