I recently had a blood test and they poked me with a needle, but the doctor couldn't find the vein right away and kind of moved it around under my skin. That was a few days ago, and now there's this light green patch where they poked me. I'm a bit worried because I thought bruises were usually blue or black. Is this light green color something I should be concerned about?
