Do I Need To Worry About Black Spots Around The Area Where The Blood Was Taken From?
Hello today I took my baby to give blood for blood test. It has been 8hrs now and we have noticed small black sports around the area where the blood was taken from. It looks like about 20 small sports spread around the area. Do we need to worry about this or take her back to the hospital. Many thanks for your help.
