What Causes A Wound On The Ankle?

The scab on a wound on my ankle was almost completely off, so I removed it. After a couple of days, I noticed a small but distinct dark circle in the middle of the wound. When the wound occurred, there was no dark spot in the wound, only raw pink flesh. What is this dark circle?
