Blood Spots

been using imigran jabs for years and very rarely would the jab bleed. but now quiet often get small blood spots appear not long after the jab some bleed longer than others. not keen on plasters and been dabbing with tissues.

The problem they are staining my shirts, bedsheets etc.

Any tips on getting rid of the staines we use persil non biological wash powder but does not help.

David,

Vanish-oxi action will do the trick for blood stains,

i also get drops of blood , keep a tissue on for few minutes and it usually stops, blood runs thiner as you get older,

David,

To prevent the bleed, you could try rubbing the injection site with an ice cube; or you could make sure you have a small dressing [elastoplast or similar] to hand to pop over the site when you withdraw the needle, that might stop the staining in the first place.
