As you had mentioned in your history it seems the wound get infected. For treatment you can take some antibiotic like cefadroxyl or ampoxin along with combiflam or ibugesic-plus for pain and swelling. You can use soframycin cream for local application to get rid off from black mark. If no improvement than you can for x-ray of affected part.
