How long does bruising last after local anaesthetic in the toe?

July 20, 2015
Asked By:Ghek in California, CA

Hiya I have quite a lot of bruising to the posterior of my toe and a little on the opposite side from my punch biopsy. It has been a week and a half now. How much longer will the bruising last? I presume this is where the local anaesthetic went in?. This is more painful than the actual wound Thanks
