Scarring

Hi, I get monthly infusions and the scars are starting to pile up in my arms. I also get pretty severe bruising almost every time. It usually takes them a couple of tries before the needle is in right. It’s not a big deal, but when I wear short sleeves it kind of looks odd maybe (like I shoot up dru...
