Hard Bump Near The IV Insertion On The Arms With Red Lines Originating From It Post Appendix Removal. Alarming?
last week on sunday i had my appendix removed and now i have noticed within the last few day that i had this really hard bump on my arm that is about the size of 2 peas and then 2 red lines started forming from the the bump. the bump is close to where i had a iv at? i am just wondering if this is something i should have checked out and it doesnt itch at all
