Experiencing Bruise Near The Punctured Area For Giving Blood. Anything To Worry ?
My mom gave blood and is experiencing the skin near the puncture site turning pure BLACK almost like a horrible bruise with some blood clotting underneath but it isn t blue like I typically see (med student). A few days after she got her blood drawn and the bruise formed on the other side of her arm where she hasn t given blood the same exact bruise formed...black.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Dont worry bruise at the site of puncture is common.
This happens due to extravasation of blood in surroundind tissue.
Slowly it will disappear.
she can use thrombophobe ointment for faster relief.
Please meet a dermatologist for final diagnosis and treatment
