What Could Light Discoloration Around The Site Of ICE And Venous Heart Cath Indicate?
I have a very light discoloration around the site where I had ICE and Right Heart Cath (venous) via femoral access 7 weeks ago. The discoloration extends about one inch circumference from where the catheter was inserted. It s like a tansish color, no swelling or pain. What could this be?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such appearance after the procedure is very common and this is nothing to worry but care need to be taken for infection, keep the area clean and for safe side, antiseptic can be applied, hope this helps take care and have a nice day.
