Acupuncture leaves a hard lump in the buttocks

It is common to have hard lumps in the buttocks after an injection. Don't worry, it is not a big problem. It may be that the medicine was not fully absorbed. You can apply a hot towel or salt water. If ulceration occurs, you must seek medical attention immediately and do not delay the treatment. Usually, you must pay attention to a light diet, wear loose clothes, avoid spicy food, and drink more water.

Whether adults or children, sometimes hard lumps will appear after injections. If the hard lumps are not painful or swollen, you can apply hot compresses at home. If pain or suppuration occurs, you should go to the hospital and ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine. You should eat a light diet and wear pure cotton clothes to avoid irritation. The following is a detailed description of how to remove hard lumps.

Methods/Steps

1. Stabilize your emotions

Hard bumps after injections are mostly caused by poor absorption of the drug, incorrect insertion depth, or infection. Don't panic if you encounter this situation, treat it accordingly.

2. Hot compress

Put the towel in a basin and boil it with boiling water. The purpose of boiling is to kill the bacteria on the towel. When you apply hot compress, it will not infect the skin. Apply hot compress several times a day, but be careful not to cause burns. The main purpose of hot compress is to speed up blood circulation and eliminate hard lumps.

3. Apply potato slices

Cut the potatoes into thin slices, heat them, and apply them to the hard bumps. However, do not use sprouted potatoes because they are poisonous and can infect the wound.

4. Apply magnesium sulfate

Melting the magnesium sulfate granules and applying hot compress is also a relatively effective method, which can slowly eliminate hard lumps.

5. Seek medical attention promptly

If the hard lump becomes painful or has become festered, it means that the wound has been infected and you need to go to the hospital for drainage surgery in time to relieve the pain and recover your health as soon as possible.

6. Eat a light diet

During the treatment of hard lumps, do not eat spicy or other irritating foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, and drink more boiled water.

7. Wear pure cotton clothes

The areas where hard bumps appear on the body are most afraid of scratching and irritation, so you should wear pure cotton clothes to ensure that the wounds do not become more serious.
