Hello,
Thanks for the query.
The bruises are not related to injection.
It may be due to scratching and will resolve spontaneously even without treatment.
As of now no treatment is required. You can apply ice packs for faster recovery.
If the bruises persist long, you can consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
