Suggest Remedy For Bruises In Arm
Hi. I have a bruise on my arm that I received when getting blood work done. The bruise quickly spread from the injection spot and is a purple/red colour even though it s a week later. The red seems to be spreading across the bruise, but the outline of the bruise is yellow. Should I see a doctor?

Hello
Thankyou for contacting HCM.
Bruises usually take around 2 weeks to heal. they change their colour from red to dark blue and then to golden yellow after they which they fade away. your bruise seems to be following the same cycle and in my opinion it is fine.
please contact your local physician if the bruise starts spreading rapidly, starts hurting more or u feel a swelling at that area.
hope this answer your query. Please feel free to ask again if you have any query.
Wishing you good health
