Why Am I Having Lump On The Area Where Blood Was Drawn?
Hi I was wondering why I have a lump on my arm at the site where I had blood drawn 4 months ago. The lump didn't appear right away. It has become sore at times and has had puss ooze out the other day after scratching at it. Any answers are appreciated. Thanks again

while aspirating blood you must have incurred infection which has turned chronic.Surgically cleaning and proper dressing will cause the cure.
