Could The Bruising Around The Area Of Blood Withdrawal Be Due To Vessel Breaking?
Hi, I had blood drawn a few days ago (I ve had blood drawn multiple times before) and they had to stick me in both arms cause they didnt get enough blood the first time. I have bruising around the place where they stuck on both arms. I have never bruised after having blood drawn before so I was just wondering how this happens? Did the vessel break or did it leak? Thank you!

It occure dur leakage of of the blood during the procedure it will disappear after some days.. if it is continuously increase in size than you need to consult doctore otherwise its normal..hope this will help you.
