A member asked:

A day after i had my blood drawn, i had no bruise. but 2 days after, i noticed a bruise. might this late bruising indicate something about my health?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: It means that the blood in the bruise spread from deep toward the surface where you could see it. This happens after blood draws from time to time. You're a good observer of your body and should be proud. Best wishes.
