: It is less likely a phlebotomy complication will occur after 2 weeks and I do not think that lesion has anything to do with your recent stressful crisis. There is nothing to concern with the current finding, just observe it and I expect it go away in a couple days. You can see doctor if the lump gets bigger or other symptoms develop. Good luck.
