Is this normal after a port insertion? I know I had something like it after I had my muscle biopsy.  Basically, you can sort of see this straight line at the top?  That’s where the port is inserted, that’s what’s left of the dressings, the only one that hasn’t fallen off yet, because the incision hasn’t healed.  Meanwhile there’s this giant yellow area with some black and blue towards the bottom, that extends all the way to my nipple (which is just barely not shown, I didn’t want to make this NSFW, but there’s no discoloration on my nipple, that’’s where it stops) and then stops.  I assume it’s the same thing that happened with my arm on my muscle biopsy, where there’s a bruise underneath the skin and the blood just wants to flow in a downward direction.  But I want to be sure there’s nothing untoward going on here.
