Area where iv was is purple, swollen, red and itchy. should i be concerned.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get it checked: We don't know how long ago you had the IV.There is possibility of IV site infection which can cause swelling and discoloration.It can also e caused by IV I filtering in the underlying skin which usually gets better by itself.But it is a good idea to get it checked
