Hello,
Thanks for writing your query.
Bruising after blood collection is commonly seen.
When the syringe punctures the tiny blood vessels you tend to get this kind of discolouration on skin called as bruise, so dont worry. Initially it would be dark in colour but later on its colour will fade out & disappear.
Take care.
