Discoloration in shoulder area can be due to venous stasis or allergic reaction.
Applying thrombophobe gel can reduce discoloration.

There is no pain. However, I woke up one morning and the left shoulder was sunken. On the other hand, whenever pressure is applied to the area there is pain. It does not hurt for me to raise my arm above my head which is not an indicator that I am suffering from a rotator shoulder injury.
