REPLIED

What appears to be new bruising is probably just old blood from deeper down that has risen up to the skin. This is common in places that have alot of muscle or fat such as the abdomen and the legs. Make sure that you take the antibiotics as prescribed and finish them even if your bump gets better. Drawing a circle around any redness will show if any redness is spreading throughout the day. If this gets worse you must see your doctor again for a stronger antibiotic. If this answer helps please hit the accept button. Thank you.

ACCEPTED

In that case lol, I would say that it would be a good idea to see your doctor about this. There are many possibilities and most of them are probably not in connection with the cyst. You could have bumped this area not knowing or this could be a result from you trying the pop the cyst. Either way, see your doctor again just in case.
