Quite often side effects of injections are bumps, seals and bruises. This complicates subsequent injections, causes physical and aesthetic inconvenience. Before you learn how to get rid of injection bumps, find out when you can do it yourself, and when you need to see a doctor.
Induration or inflammation?
Not always formed after the injection seal may be harmless. A serious nuisance in the form of an abscess requires immediate medical attention. The cause of the inflammatory process may be non-sterile instruments, dirty hands and insufficient disinfection of the injection area. If there is increasing pain, redness, swelling, itching in the injection area, as well as an increase in body temperature, it is strongly not recommended to self-medicate. Therefore, if a bump forms after the injection, it is best to show it to the doctor.
Causes of lumps and bruises from injections
A short needle (or its insertion to an insufficient depth) is most often the cause of an infiltrate under the skin. In other words, the medicine does not reachmuscle and remains in the subcutaneous layer. Its further absorption occurs slowly, disrupting the healing process. This is why long-needle syringes are recommended for intramuscular injections, especially for antibiotics.
High rate of drug administration can cause lumps and hematomas (bruises). In this case, the substance, not having time to be distributed in the muscle tissue, forms a swelling and puts pressure on the vessels, causing them to burst. Another cause of bruising is damage to the vessels with a needle.
