Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Bruise And Swelling Of Bicep After Donating Plasma
I am 27 years old and I recently donated plasma. A couple of hours after donating I noticed that my bicep was swollen and it was painful. At the time there wasn't a bruise but the next day there was a purple bruise and it was still swollen. It is now the third day and the swelling has gone down but the bruise is bigger and it has turned grey in color. Is this something I should be worried about?
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows: 1. After donation, there might have been a small subcutaneous hematoma. 2. This hematoma, as it ages, changes its control into red, purple and later on grey and it slowly disappears. 3. You need not worry about it, and it will disappear within a week.
Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
