A member asked:
During a recent hospital stay i was given a shot in the thigh. is it normal to develop a hard spot under the skin there?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: it is not uncommon to get a small hard knot under the skin from an injection. This is usually a small amount or scar tissue from the injection and may or may not resolve.

Normal: The lump can last for months but it is not dangerous and will eventually go away.
