General Medical Question - Non Urgent - Cannula - scar tissue?
Hi
This sounds pretty lame but I have a few little what appear to be nobbles (sorry, not sure how else to describe them) from recent cannulas. Is there anything to get them to go away or is it some kind of scar tissue? One of them has been there for about 7 weeks - feels dead weird.

I really don't know, but I know exactly where you're coming from. I look like a human pin cushion at the moment,
I just wanted you to know that I read it, and that you have my sympathy, they should just go down in time I guess

Yep, it is a gap in your skin so when it heals there will be a little scar left. I know I've got one on my arm that is just about gone now from 6months ago

Thanks for your replies to what is quite frankly a fairly trivial post.
One of them isn't actually at the insertion point. It is about 2 inches further on - the area was really swollen at the time, I think it must have not quite been in correctly. If I kinda massage it when moisturising, is it likely to help at all?

That could be if they did some damage to the vein putting it in/ taking it out/ if you moved your arm and knocked it out of the vein causing it to bleed. As the blood there goes there may be a small space in its place which the bodt could produce fibrous tissue to fill in the gap. It may take quite some time to reduce. Yes, massaging it may help

Maybe give it a massage with some creme every day to help the scar tissue go down. I find it helped with where they put my cannulas... and I have had a LOT of cannulas in my time, lol!
take care xx
