Phlebitis or cellulitis? Updated

 I had a standard IV line. In for about 8 hours. Just opiates and contrast. The next couple days I developed this bruise. It's painless and healing at a steading rate. But I took a lot of aspirin the day *after* I had the IV. Can aspirin retroactively increase bleeding? Yes... Yes it does.


 This is the start of it at around 2 days after the IV
















This is 7 days after the IV. Slightly tender if rubbed





 Here it is on the same day (7 days) but this shows the petechia.



I think it might be related to the MRI contrast agent I received. Possible allergic to it.
