A member asked:

I had my blood drawn approximately 2 weeks ago. today i noticed the site of venipuncture is raised, red and looks like a pimple. do i need to see dr.?

Unsure: This could be a hematoma from blood which leaked under the skin during the venopuncture. It shouldn't be reddened or tender at this time unless there is inflammation or infection present. Because of this it's probably best to have a physician check it.
