Welcome to HealthCareMagic. Your query has been assigned to me and I am happy to assist you today for the health issues you raised.

Yes it might be due to the injection needle. It happens sometimes. But we may not keep it going like that. We have to get it checked histologically so that it might be clear if this is some malignant change or it is just a benign lesion. So I suggest you to go for a consultation form General Surgeon for diagnosis of the lesion and he may ask for a biopsy of this mass. For pain you may take Ibuprofen right away.

Hope it was all you needed the answer for. If you have some more questions or doubts in mind, please let us know to help you. We are all a team of best experts from all over the world to assist patients online. Give your feedback to help us make this service even better.
