    Cyst formed after injection

    My little Rhino has a lump in the side of his thigh where he got one of his last immunistation needles, and while at the dr the other day, I asked about it. The dr felt it and said that its a cyst that has formed where the needle went in, and will go away when he grows bigger.

    Huh?

    Anyone else's bubs/kids had this, and does it go away? Its not really visible, but very 'feelable', and I think there is a tiny one on the other leg too.

    i just noticed one of these in ds2's thigh on the weekend. it feels like a little pea.
    dh said it would be from the injections too.
    i'm interested to hear what other people say and if it's anything to worry about.

    Not sure about 'cysts' as such, but lumps at the injection site are very common and will go away in time.

    yup, my little one's 8 week injections gave her one and went away in a few weeks

    My little one's was from the tetanus shot and the nurse warned me prior that it can happen so I wouldn't get alarmed. I hate immunisations and i take 20 mins to psyche up to letting the nurse do them and have to ask 3 million questions. Lucky she's a sweety so it helps!

    Good luck with little one's leg
