What Causes Flesh Coloured Lump In The Area Of The Injection?

It happens in those who do not apply pressure after needle is removed
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
It appears that you might have had a little bleeding at the injection site and this is common when drawing blood. Pressure should be applied for 3 to 5 minutes after the needle is removed. If enough pressure is not applied on the injection site once the needle is taken out then few drops of blood might get collected under the skin and cause bruising. In some people it can take some time to disappear. If it is not hurting and not swollen up then there is no concern. Should it become painful then please consult your doctor for symptomatic treatment.
The tray not having a liner is not a concern as long the tech used new syringe and had gloves on and that confirms practice of safety standards.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Is there any concern?
It takes longer for a bruise in the crook of arm to heal completely
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
It is possible that it went unnoticed because you were in full sleeves due to weather conditions. The crook of the arm is a delicate area and always under stress due to movements at the elbow joint. This taken longer for a bruise in that location to heal completely. If there is no pain and it is not bleeding or discharging pus then there is no concern. Please do not worry.
Hope your query is answered.

It is a healing bruise at the injection site and not a concern
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
It is clear from the picture that a has bruise formed at the needle puncture site and because it is in the crook of the arm hence it is taking time to heal. I confirm that this is not a concern and is healing. Please do not worry.
