It looks like there may be a developing infection starting especially if the area is raised and/or feels warm to the touch. If not, there may be some deep bruising in the area. You should contact your doctor's office to be seen by an MD or go to an Urgent Care to be seen there as you may need antibiotics.
Please see your GYN as soon as you can. It’s very common to have bruising and swelling, but being able to see it in person is the best evaluation. Hope it all goes well!
Appears to have some level of cellulitis. May need antibiotics. And may need removal
That does look concerning. Difficult to tell if that is bruising versus an infection. You need to get your arm looked at again by your doctor.
