Suggest Treatment For Lump On The Thigh Of A Child
My 2 year old has a lump on her thigh in the region where she had her jabs, only on the right leg. It is about the width of a golf ball and purtrudes about a inch. It does not move, it doesn t cause pain but she doesn t like me touching it. My daughters last injection in this area was when she was 5 months old. Is it possible this is still due to her injection or could this be anything else? Thanks in advance.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for posting your query at healthcaremagic.com
Many a times, at the injection site the drug administer may not have been absorbed. It might have gone for encapsulated fibrosis. If still remains like that, lump should be excised at earliest.
I advise you to see a pediatric surgeon who would guide further.
Please revert back if you need any further information.
With best wishes,
Dr, Vishwanath Patil
