[|Human|] On Saturday I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted...I was put to sleep during the procedure, so they put an IV in on my right arm (right below my elbow )...the following day I noticed a large purple bruise where the IV was placed...it s now been 5 days & the purple bruise is gone but now a blue, black, purple bruise has replaced it & now takes up a large amount of my arm...it seems to have spread & have gotten darker with time...is this normal?
[|AI|]  Hello there and welcome to Chat Doctor, Your extraction of wisdom teeth is no where related to the bruise on the arm. As you have described purple reddish bruise I can suspect formation of hematoma on the arm due to long placement of scalp vein or misplaced scalp vein. I suggest you to visit a physician and get it confirmed. If it is hematoma it will resolve in few days with proper medication. don't worry but see a doctor before the condition gets worse. Get well soon and take care.
