Hi there ~
There is no need to panic as it is a normal process where your blood that is clotted underneath you skin (also known as a hematoma) changes color as it ages and heals. There is no need for concern. Your husband should be better in about a week or two when the color returns to normal after changing to a few other colors.
I hope this relieves your anxiety. Take care and have a lovely day !
