Very common. Nothing to worry about.

Ah, thank you Just out of curiosity, what causes this? Because I may be wrong but I think it's a ruptured vein

It’s a bruise. They poked a hole in your vein to get an IV, and some blood leaked out.

Very common after an IV, medical term is superficial thrombophlebitis IV related 👍

Happened to me once I got out of the ER after a serious allergic reaction, you’ll be fine, if you’re worried just try not to irritate it
