What Is Causing Appearance Of Bumps With Pain In Area Of Blood Drawn?

I had blood drawn from my right forearm about 2 months ago. Recently, over the past week, I have had constant pain in the area where the blood was drawn. I also notice that some bumps have shown up in that area as well. The bumps don t itch, but they seem to be coming from the inside of my arm instead of the surface.

Usually blood drawn from any site does not cause any problem until unless you have a bleeding disorder. If you don't have any history of prolonged bleeding in the past, the bump and pain may be due to some other reason and drawing of the blood may be just an incidental association. It may be a neurofibroma or a lipoma. In case it is a hematoma which was there at the time of blood drawn, that may be just calcified but it will not progress. If it is a progressive disorder, it needs to be evaluated by an ultrasound and FNAC.
