A member asked:

My mother buttock is very damaged bcz of lots needle(drug=ferro sanol duodenal) and the skin became purple and its been like that for 2-3 month???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor.: Multiple injections can cause bruising and other skin damage. Ferro sanol duodenal can also be prescribed orally; you might ask your doctor if that form is available in your country - and if not, perhaps another iron supplement can be used instead.
