Lump in leg after vaccine?

[CormacksGirl]

Hi ladies!

Three weeks ago my LO had his first set of vaccines and now he is left with a bruise and a lump under the skin. Any one else's LO one had this and did it disappear or should I take him to the Docs to get it checked out?

My daughter got a lump in her legs with the 12&16 week jabs. I don't think my son did or I can't remember. They did eventually disappear though.

Yep, my son and my friends wee one had theirs two weeks ago. Both have lumps under the skin still. Was told it would happen by the nurse and its quite nothing to worry about x

Thank you ladies that is very reassuring!

Totally normal to have a lump.for quite a while. I remember the nurse said that it should get no bigger than the size of a 50p piece. Anything up to that is no cause for concern x

So far it's only the size of a five pence, will keep an eye on it though, thanks!

From my understanding vaccines are injected into the muscle, and any muscle injection can cause a lump. My LO has avoided them so far, but I had a bad knot for days from the vaccination they gave me after giving birth.
