SOMETIMES A NEEDLE LACERATES A VEIN THAT IS USED FOR THE I.V. AND THE RESULTING LACERATION CAUSES A BRUISE. DON'T BE CONCERNED, SOON IT WILL HEAL BACK TO NORMAL

The blood escaped under your skin. I bruise with every needle I get, no worries, although it makes the health nurses feel really bad!

the needle has been in a vien,its natural to bruise.did you lift anything after as they usually tell you not to lift after blood tests or anything like that as it can cause bruising

It is from blood leakage under the skin. This is common w9ith IV procedures & is no cause for alarm.
