So I've had my port for a little over a year now. I'm really getting used to it, learning which dressing covers give me an allergic reaction, and things like that. I learned one of the last cycles that the little bio patches are a really bad idea for me, as within hours on placing one, I had broken out horribly. However, I do have a question for others with a port. Every time I access/de access, the port, I get a small bump where the needle was placed. It almost looks like a large pimple. I'm wondering if others have experienced this as well. It's irritating and itches horribly, and takes at least a few days to heal. The last time I used the line for a couple weeks, the bump didn't go away for almost a month.
I'm planning on asking my doctor about this at my next clinic visit, but I also wanted to ask you all.
