Dear
Yes, it is normal to see the color changes as described by you. It is part of the healing process and will eventually disappear.This is because of the red blood cells that have leaked into the areas under skin and your body is disposing them off by releasing enzymes which change the color of blood.Rest assured, you are on way to recovery. Please revert if needed.
