Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for query.
Hematoma caused by Iv needle injury during hospitalization or while drawing blood is common.It appears like a bruise or a lump.
It happens whenever IV cannula punctures a vein.
You just apply Thrombophob gel once daily for 3-4 days and you see the changes.
Get back if any query.
