I donated blood about 4 days back. Today I noticed a small ball near the vein which was pricked. What do I do? It hurts a bit.

I'm glad to hear that you donated blood. Probably it's a infection developing at the site of injection. I would suggest you to clean the area with savlon or betadine solution. Then apply some antibiotic ointment like oint. Neosporin at the site. It will eventually heal and the pain will reduce. Just keep a check that pus is developing or not? If yes, please visit a physician. Hope that helps.
