Had appendectomy on 4/3/14 bruises from my iv's are still faintly visable on skin. is this normal? should i bring it to my p.a. attn?

It can be: A bruise can persist for several weeks and will go through a natural healing process. If you are having other troubles with abnormal bleeding/bruising such as bleeding from brushing your teeth or easy bruising, you may need further workup.
