Baby born with bruising on eye and red in both eyes

My daughter is a week old and she was born with a little bruise on her left eye and red on both rims of her iris the side closest to the tear duct. I wasn't concerned about this because the doctor at the hospital didn't say anything but the bruise on her eye is getting darker and bigger. It is a dark pink/purple color like plum colored. What is this and should I be worried?

Take the baby in and have her seen by her pediatrician.  Do you have photos from the day she was born that show it?  Those would be helpful so the contrast is visible.
