What Is The Remedy For The Itching And Lump On The Area Of Needle Insertion?
I had my blood drawn 8 days ago for tests. There were atleast 5 viles drawn and it left a bruise. Since then, the skin has been itchy and there's a small lump where the needle was inserted. I'm pregnant and I'm concerned why this is happening. I've never had a reaction like this.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As your having itching and swelling following the withdraw of bllod from the vein. This suggests thst there is a inflammation of the vein which is called as thrombophlebitis.
It is one of the most common complication associated with the blood withdrawal.
For this I would suggest you to apply thromboflam cream over the affected vein it will improve the condition.
Thank you.
