Wounds turning purple. Help?!


Question: I cut myself on the back of my leg about three days ago with a razor blade. The skin surrounding the skin was red at first, but then it started turning purple. The skin has started to regrow now, but the wounds are still dark purple. There's no sign of itching either.
I didn't disinfect the razor or the wound so could it be an infection? If not, then what is it?

The blood is stuck there..it happens when you don't disinfect the wound, don't worry it'll go away.

Could be some bruising. Depending on your diet and any meds you may be taking, it can thin your blood a little and delay your clotting process. Any wound could bleed a little more than normal and cause some pooling under the skin. If you put pressure on the cut to stop the bleeding, that could also cause some bruising if your clotting is a little slow.
