Is there such thing as dirty blood?

Okay so I gave blood last Friday and I have an odd bruise thing that almost looks like a blood blister or even a hickey. Is this normal?

  • I Gave blood last Friday and my blood stopped flowing into the bag. They moved the needle around a bit and got it flowing again. Now though I have a normal bruise and a not normal bruise. The not so normal bruise is still red and looks somewhat like a blood blister or a hickey. I don't have any pain unless I extend my arm all the way or put slight pressure on it. Is this normal or do I need to get this checked out? Someone told me that it looked like they blew out my vein but I am not sure.

  • Answer:

    Sometimes there is a little leakage around the site and that causes the bruising that you are seeing. It's not unusual and should slowly disappear over the course of a few days.

The inside of the vein got bruised. It happens sometimes. It'll get better.
