Suggest Treatment For Bruising On Arm Caused After Blood Was Drawn

I had blood drawn Tues. morning. I put pressure lightly for 2 minutes. That usually keeps me from bruising. However, this time my arm has gotten worse. It was light this morning, but tonight it is darker and more wide spread. I think I m still bleeding under the skin. What should I do?

Hello,

Immediately go to the nearest hospital/dermatologist and do coagulation profile with LFT. It may be an early sign of the bleeding disorder.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
