What Causes Lump On Injection Site After Plasma Donation?

Hello, my boyfriend went to donate plasma today. They started with his left arm and while donating a lump arose near the puncture site. He told them to immediately take it out and take plasma from his right arm. Which the doctors did, he is now at home. The lump is still visable in his left arm and he can hardly bend it straight. Is this something to worry about?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I cancluded that your friend got hematoma due to some leakage of blood from blood vessel. No need to worry, it will gradually resolve. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. You can apply Thrombophobe gel over it without rubbing to resolve it early. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
