A question related to my lymphoscintigram and skin damage

I had a lymphoscintigram roughly 6 months ago. Where the needle point went in between my big toe and second toe on my affected leg, I have a black mark. I am seeing the doctor as advised by my lymphie nurse on Wednesday.

Has anyone experienced this before? What could it be? I have a feeling it's just scaring but the colour suggests otherwise, and how deep it seems to go. I hope I'm not being silly, seeing as it hasn't gone I have been concerned.

Thanks!
