Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Discoloration And Discomfort Where Blood Was Drawn For Blood Test. Cause?
Hey. I got blood drawn a over a week ago for a blood test.
Since then i have had some discomfort in my arm. A few days later I noticed discoloration from where the blood was drawn and stretching a few inches up the forearm.
I also noticed similar discoloration (however not as intense) in the blood vessels close to the point of blood withdrawal.
Hi, it appears to be the thrombo phlebitis, caused by the injury and infection of the vein. It needs to be treated by madicines to prevent the complications, it is better to check the blood sugar. So i advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
