How Can A Bruise On The Hand Be Treated?
I had a colonoscopy a few weeks ago and they had problems getting the iv into the back of my hand. I had some bruising but it got better. Now, I have another bruise in the same spot (for 4 days now) and a red spot has developed on top of it. What is going on? Did the vein not heal well and I injured it unknowingly somehow? What is this red spot?

Hi,
It’s okay if you have injured and there is a bruising. The vein will definitely heal on its own and does not require any medication.
But red spot can be due to allergy or bruising also. Kindly find out if you had used any product new or anything which caused you allergy and stop it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
