Bruising is common after venepuncture.You should not be concerned about it.
Apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth for 10 to 20 minutes in the first 24 hours and after the 2nd day apply warm water cloth over it .
It resolves on its own within a few days to weeks .
You can apply thromophobe cream 2-3 times daily

No. It is a small extravasation of the blood from the vein. It will heal itself.
