What Causes Small Lumps In Arms Post Injection In Children?
Shortly after my child got a few shots in each of his arms I noticed a small peas sized lumpnear the injection site it is not red or itchy he doesn't even notice it. I did some research and it said it was common for that to happen. It has now been 5 months and he still has it. It seems to come and go it usually pops. up after some physical activity ......its never there when he wakes up should worry please help.

Dear friend,
Your child having small lump at injection site since 5 month. As per your description it may be chronic hematoma or calcification. And it is common after injection. Exact diagnosis can be done only after examination. As it is painless you should not be worried. But you can consult a surgeon for clinical examination and opinion for it.
Thank you.
