What Does A Bruise On Forearm In The Area Of IV Iron Supplement Suggest?
Hello, I have a bruise on my forearm where I received an IV of iron supplement after a c-section. That happened 5 months ago and the bruise us still there. Any ideas of what this could be? I would like to send a picture, but there is not an option to do so.

HI
Well come to HCM
Because of counter puncture during intra venous administration of some drug, some blood leaks out from venous system and this could cause such bruise, after some time this would be fine, but care need to be taken for infection, hope this information helps, take care.
