HI,Welcome with your query to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,You seem to have lumps due to extravasation of blood after a failed vein puncture.
Failure of the veinous puncture,with repeated attempts is the cause of those swellings you had.
Remedy-
Compression dressing/Tab Motrin/Thrombophobe oint.locally would help you.
Hope this reply would help you.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.
Good Day!!
