Bumpy swelling at the site of injection.
I'm getting anti rabies vaccine shots at govt hospital cause I had a doubt that my friend's puppy which is one month old had scratched me it was a small scratch but to be sure I'm getting these shots. they're giving me shots hypodermaly not intra muscularly by the insulin syringe.
Till now I've got 3 shots 2 more are remaining.
I got last shot on 2nd September, i get a little swelling everytime but today I noticed a bumpy swelling at the site of injection, it's circular about 1cm in diameter and it feels like a tight mass when I press it.
I've massaged it with ice, but I'm a bit worried.

Looks like there is a blood clot. You can use an anticoagulant anti thrombotic ointment. But this type of ointment is to be used carefully, as it can interact with any other medicines that you are taking. Are you taking any other medicines ?
