Jing Ming - Bright Eyes Can bleed after needling. This can be stopped by applying pressure for a few moments after the needle is withdrawn. When there is bleeding, there may appear a purpling of the skin around the eye. For this reason, a cold compress can be used first, to stop the bleeding, followed by a hot compress. After a week, the purple should disappear. In any event it will not affect the vision. Care should be taken not to insert needle too deeply, to avoid entering cranial cavity. Foot Tai Yang
