Hematoma: If you had just blood draw most likley vein " burst" and there was blood " spilled " to subcutaneous tissue creating massive hematoma - discoloration blue. it is tender and sore. best is to place ice to begin with and than " damp heat " as towel rinsed in water and place on and one more layer dry towel. It is NOT a blood cloth. Cloth can occur more after IV indwelling catheter for while.
