i harm too!
its most likely just a deep cut that has hit a vain bad
if it has a scab it should be ok just keep it clean put some creams on it this will help with scaring if the cut gets really sore itchy swelling etc go see a doctor
but dark red blood is just Deoxygenated blood :)

The blood colour is determined by the number of red blood cells in the blood and by the amount of oxygen they are carrying. Dark blood will generally come from a vein and carries very little oxygen. Bright red blood carries lots of oxygen
