HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The purple discolouration is due to the bruising as a result of the bite sting. It will resolve in a few days .
It does not signify a problems.
If it is painful then the use of an anti inflammatory pain killers would be helpful for a few days. ( Eg- ibuprofen, cataflam, aspirin, naproxen, celebrex)
I hope this helps
