So this can be perfectly normal, if its the whole wound, and is generally caused by the tissue in your body form reforming (scarring).
If however its only around the edge of a wound this can be a sign of infection in the wound. Ultimately if your worried about the wound you should go and seek further medical advice from a nurse or physician.

It''s the amount of increased blood that your brain send to the wound, since the more blood is there, the more white blood cells are there to clot the wound and prevent further bleeding.

Because the blood under the skin seeps through the muscle tissue and makes a bruise. Or if it's not a blunt-force injury (i.e., if it's an open wound), it may be infected. You might want to ask your doctor.

Because the internal bleeding stops, makes the blood freeze and clotted and those blood clots turn purple in colour.

The blood around the wound gets stuck and clots inside the wound, also called as hematoma, where it is usually painful because of the clotting.

That's the bruising - if you get hit hard, the skin will turn purple - don't worry about it, it'll go down in a bit. You can always take some paracetamol to help the pain, and if it swells up lots, you can see a doctor!

It is the outcome of broken blood vessels and inflammation. In fact, this process will always take place in the initial phase of a scar. The skin area that is damaged will signal out signs to our bodies to send in blood flow to assist in the healing process.

Some wounds and bruises can turn purple due to blood vessels losing oxygen and possibly rupturing; with bruises, you're bleeding under your skin without breaking the skin.
