What Does A Lump At An Injection Site Indicate?

Hello,
It is possible due to
- The anesthetic effect of the lidocaine - developing cellulitis or abscess.
-Doppler ultrasound recommended for further management guidelines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
