What Causes Swelling, Red Bumps And A Rash Like Irritation After Blood Test?
Just had a blood test and after I took the bandage off I had swelling and little red bumps and a rash like irritation around the injection site. Its beginning to bruise and hurts to move my arm the area is entremely tender. Just curious if this is normal??
no need to worry. its happen many a time after injection. its because your needle goes out side the vein and some amount of blood goes outside the vein. just apply the ice on that. after few days it will fade and goes aways. in between colour changes occurs form red to brown and black. dont worry it normal.
