Brief Answer:
Please give details and post actual photographs.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history, albeit short and specific.
Please give few more details for me to assist you better:
When was the blood drawn/ hematoma occurred?
How large is the hematoma?
Is there pain or any other symptoms?
Please post clear and focused pictures as these help.
If the hematoma is more than 6 hours old,, I would advise you the following:
Stop touching or fondling the hematoma, give it time to resolve and be re-absorbed on its own.
If there is swelling around with discoloration and pain, please take an anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen or anything that suits you.
Wait and watch policy.
Rest of the advised after I get your feedback and photos.
Awaiting.
