Should I Be Concerned About Itchy Lump After Donating Blood?
Hello, a few weeks ago I donated blood for the first time, everything went smoothly. After the donation I was fine nothing major happened to me like fainting or anything. But, at the needle site, where the needle was put in, there is a little lump now and it's been a little itchy, should I be concerned?

Hi. Thanks for a great cause of blood donation.
Please do not worry about this small lump.
It will definitely resolve on its own. Do not touch it repeatedly or over-treat it.
