A member asked:
I got my first gardasil shot 2 weeks ago. i still have a very hard lump at the injection site, and hurts to touch. is this normal?

See your doctor: It is normal to feel a hardening of the skin (lump) for up to several weeks after an injection; however, any tenderness associated with the shot should have already resolved. We need to be concerned about infection at the site or other possible complications. Recommend seeing your doctor to have the area examined.
