Hello,
Thanks for your query.
You can put a warm compress on it, and you may very well see some bruising before all is said and done. You didnt say how long ago the draw was. If it was today or even yesterday, I would give it another day or two. If it does become painful or swollen, I would suggest seeing a doctor. But I think you will notice a difference in a day or so.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
