hi..um.. okay so i am a dumb person and to start off I want to say I have no intentions of killing or harming myself or being a drug addict but um.. I watch greys anatomy and I wanted to practice poking a needle so I did it on myself and I accidentally injected lidocaine hci 2% into the top of my hand not very much but im scared because there’s a small thick lump and it’s more pale then the rest of my hand please help..
It is possible due to - The anesthetic effect of the lidocaine - developing cellulitis or abscess. -Doppler ultrasound recommended for further management guidelines.
