What Is The Cure For Red Raised Spot At The Injection Site After Cervical Epidural?
Hi, I had cervical epidural 9 days ago, about 3 days ago I noticed painful red raised spot 1 to 2 inches above injection site, I thought it was a pimple or maybe a spider bite, but then got another higher on my neck and now another today in my hair line. Not sure if it is infected or even related. Thanks Donna
