Brief Answer:
Needs further investigation to rule out bleeding and Clotting disorders

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Thanks for the query.

It is best you get your blood bleeding and Clotting parameters assessed like Bleeding time, Clotting time, PT, INR, aPTT.

Eat plenty of fresh fruits especially citrus fruits which are rich in Vitamin C which help in Platelet function and reduce excessive bleeding. Drink enough water daily.

Keep the affected limb elevated.

Kindly do the above mentioned blood tests and follow up with me.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
