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

G
GhekJul 20, 2015

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

No, salt and ice will NOT remove your mole. The only relationship that "cold" has to skin lesions is that your doctor can use cryotherapy (this is NOT ice, and it is done in the doctor's office) for actinic keratosis (a "pre-cancer" lesion) and warts. Have a doctor look at the mole,...
