Brief Answer:
It could be due to leakage of drug

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Fist possibility is Leakage of the Drug from the vein due to double puncture and collection beneath the skin producing Lump.It will get subsided gradually.
Next possibility is the reaction of the Vein due to the drug producing Lump.It will also come down.
If there is pain,fever then Anti inflammatory tablet should be taken.
Nothing to worry.It will come down.
If it is taking more time to regress, you should consult a Doctor.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.

No fever. Not red anymore. Not painful just uncomfortable at times. Big lesson here. Thank you for not judging me. Its a big sign I believe of what kind of doctor you must be, a good one! I’m paying for this and have learned a big lesson. I’ve been depressed and being single with to much time on my hands making really bad decisions. Things could be a whole lot worse if I keep making these type of decisions. Getting to old for this. Thank you. Sincerely M
