Hii, I am Swarnil, 20 years old. 3 days ago , I have donated blood in a blood bank for the 1st time, it was a voluntary donation, but now I am worried as I am observing some clotting / black spot in the area of my hand from where blood was taken. Would any body explain me please? I am really worried about it.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
hello
Thanks for using Health Care magic .

I would be pleased to answer your question .

You don't need to worry Swamil . A little bleeding in to skin and bruising is commonly seen at the site of the puncture in the skin . The clotting is the accumulation of the blood in that area . There is nothing for you to worry and it would soon resolve on its own in 5 to 15 days .

thanks and take care

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
Some of the blood that escaped from the vein, got in to the arm tissue, and clotted, and turned blue. It happens many times. Will be fine in 4-5 days, you can apply some ice and massage gently.
Takecare.
