On Allergy Shots And Benadryl,indentation In Right Arm Along With Swollen Triceps. Please Advice.

Hello,
My son has recently been receiving allergy shots twice a week in both arms for about a month now. I just noticed that in his right arm is an indentation that is darker than his arm, also the tricep area is swollen. He has been taking Benadryl, but no change. Is this normal? It's been this way for almost five days now.

Thanks
