thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the red mark could be a ecchymosis secondary to trauma. if i am your treating doctor i would have suggested you to use topical heparin ointment (thrombophob) or use cold and hot fomentation alternatively over the mark. it heals within a week. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
