What can I do about this bruise?!
Question: I had blood taken four times yesterday and look like a heroin addict right now. One spot is especially bad. I have a bruise that is about four inches long spreading out from the place where the needle was. Can I do anything about it? I am pregnant so it has to be something I can take/ do while pregnant.... thanks!!

It's just a small collection of blood under the skin,(bruise).May look bad but it's not. You can apply a "cold pack" or a small amt of ice to the area,several times a day.This will resolve by itself in a few days. Having some blood taken for tests during pregnancy is normal,and causes NO harm. Take care. SW RNP
Don't sweat it.
wait till it heals
I've taken blood a million times, trust me it's fine. it's just a collection of blood under the skin, it will eventually go away with very little scaring.
