Suggest Treatment For Lump After Blood Drawn
Had Blood Drawn about a week ago. Allot about 10 tubes. Now I have a lump that has been getting larger for the past 3 days on the underside of my forearm. Feels soft like a bubble but hurts if I push on it. Has a slight redness. Maybe from me pushing on it. Could this be from drawing blood in my upper arm where it bends?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having extravasation of blood while drawing blood and likely that there might be having thrombophlebitis giving rise some soreness and pain.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for 2-3 days.
Apply thrombophob cream locally.
If swelling and pain increases, you might require one course of oral antibiotic medicine course.
Ok and take care.
