Collapsed veins can heal, but some never bounce back. Depending on the location of the vein, this can lead to circulation problems. New blood vessels will develop to bypass the collapsed vein. In some cases, medication that was to be delivered intravenously can be potentially harmful when spilled into the skin.

Learn More »After having your blood drawn, it’s fairly normal to have a small bruise. A bruise usually appears because small blood vessels are accidentally damaged as your healthcare provider inserts the needle. A bruise might also form if there wasn’t enough pressure applied after the needle is removed. Bruising after a blood draw is typically harmless and doesn’t require treatment. But, if your bruises are large or accompanied by bleeding elsewhere, it could be a sign of a more serious condition. Causes of bruises after a blood draw Bruising, also known as ecchymosis, happens when capillaries located just under the skin are damaged, leading to bleeding just underneath the skin. The bruise itself is discoloration from the blood trapped under the skin’s surface. Damaging blood vessels During a blood draw, a healthcare provider specially trained to collect blood — most likely a phlebotomist or a nurse — inserts a needle into a vein, usually on the inside of your elbow or wrist. As the needle is inserted, it may damage a few capillaries, leading to the formation of a bruise. This isn’t necessarily the fault of the person drawing the blood as it’s not always possible to see these small blood vessels. It’s also possible that the needle needs to be repositioned after the initial placement. The person drawing the blood may also insert the needle too far beyond the vein. Small and hard-to-find veins If the person drawing blood has any difficulty locating a vein — for example, if your arm is swollen or your veins are less visible — it makes it more likely that blood vessels will be damaged. This may be referred to as “a difficult stick.” The person drawing the blood will usually take the time to locate the best vein, but sometimes they aren’t successful on the first try. Not enough pressure after Another reason a bruise may form is if the person drawing the blood doesn’t apply enough pressure on the puncture site once the needle is removed. In this case, there’s more of a chance that blood will leak into the surrounding tissues. Other causes of bruising after blood draws You might be more prone to bruising during or after a blood draw if you: take medications called anticoagulants that reduce blood clotting, such as aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and clopidogrel (Plavix) take herbs and supplements, such as fish oil, ginger, or garlic, which may also reduce your body’s ability to clot

If a bruise forms after a blood draw, it’s usually not a cause for concern. However, if you notice bruising on other parts of your body or the bruise is very large, you may have another condition that could explain the bruising. How to avoid bruising after a blood draw You can’t always avoid bruising after a blood draw. Some people just tend to bruise more easily than others. If you’re scheduled to have blood drawn, there are a few steps you can try to prevent a bruise: Avoid taking anything that can cause blood thinning in the days before your appointment and 24 hours after the blood draw, including over-the-counter NSAIDs. Don’t carry anything heavy, including a handbag, using that arm for several hours after the blood draw, since lifting heavy objects can put pressure on the needle site and displace your blood clot.
