Hi, I gave blood 3 days ago, the nurse struggled to get my blood to flow properly so was unable to donate. I have a very large dramatic bruise and the vein is tender, also there is a small lump in the vein that blood was taken from. Should I be worried?
Dear madam, the vein is double punctured from one side to the other that causes leakage of blood in to the subcutaneous area which causes blueish discoloration on lump no medication is required except pressure bandage for avoiding secondary infection take some mild antibiotic and anti-inflammatory tablets please undergo clotting time and bleeding time test by lab any abnormality in these tests is present consult physician immediately
