A member asked:

Had blood work done today and nurse had a little trouble finding the vein couple hours later i have a small bump under the skin at the needle site.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hematoma: Once a blood vessel is punctured by a needle a small leak can cause blood to accumulate resulting in a hematoma. If the hematoma is small it will eventually be cleared by one's own body. If the lesion is larger , it may require surgical attention.
