Lump formation is very common in those patients who receive a regular injections at the same site.
This Lump formation can also lead to swelling and tenderness over that area
Medical attendant who is with patient should be aware about patient skin condition and must change the site of injection frequently.
This is the duty of patient Caretaker, that if these type of symptoms like swelling and tenderness,then what should be done.
They should first start with applying cold packs to reduce swelling.It should be noted that icing if done in first 72 hrs can give drastic results.
Patient caretakers at home should must try combination of cold and hot.The combination both of above created a reaction of vasodilation and vasoconstriction which ultimately increases blood flow in that area.
It reduces the inflammation at a faster rate.
This type of lump can take few days to one or two weeks to go away
If still after two weeks, the lump or swelling persist, then consultation from a medical health practitioner is must.In some cases we have observed that if this thing is ignored that can become a deeper wound.
