It's a fairly recent bruise. Red is most recent, then it turns blue.. As the bruise ages, it will fade to light purple-ish green and finally yellow.

the trauma causing the bruise turns blue because the capillaries break and a small amount of blood escapes and flows below the skin surface
as it heals it turns greenish yellow then fades until it disappears
this means all that blood was absorbed
a blue bruise is called ecchymosis

bruises do turn blue, venous blood which has a bluish cast is what makes bruises. Deep bruises turn purple and even deeper magenta. They turn all sorts of colors as they heal, and in time all bruises are reabsorbed.

It's broken capillaries and is starting to heal.

it means there's blood under your skin - blood vessels have broken.
