I'm sorry to hear about the clot near your blood donation site. It's good that you have been applying ice, but since there has been no improvement, it’s important to take further steps.
A clot near the donation site could be a superficial thrombophlebitis, which is inflammation caused by a blood clot just under the skin. For this, a topical medication like Thrombophob Gel, which contains heparin (an anticoagulant) and benzyl nicotinate (a vasodilator), may help reduce the clot and inflammation by improving blood flow and dissolving the clot.
What you can do:
Important: If the clot does not improve, worsens, or if you experience severe pain, spreading redness, or fever, please seek immediate medical attention.
I recommend consulting a vascular specialist or a general physician promptly to evaluate the clot and guide appropriate treatment.
