I do not take any bloodthinners
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about bluish swelling that you noticed. I understand how disturbing it is to deal with something new. If this is the first and not increasing in size, I will not strongly recommend that you go in to see a doctor for his. It should slowly get resolved without the need of any specific treatment.  The truth is that minor traumas totally unaware to us can cause this. This in itself is not enough to say you have a clotting disorder. Besides, it is not a typical finding and would most likely not be related to a clotting disorder. I hope this ad Chat Doctor.  Thank you so much for using our services, and please feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
