Knot Formed After Purple Bruising From Where Blood Was Drawn
I had blood drawn recently and about an inch away from the place i was stuck i had a really dark purplish black bruise. The bruise took 3 weeks to heal and now if i run my finger over where the bruise was there is a pea sized knot under the skin. It isnt solid but its firm enough i can feel it with little pressure.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having Thrombophlebitis after blood withdrawal.
Apply Thrombophob cream locally.
Apply ice pack application for few days.
Ok and take care.
