I have what I think is a sterile abscess from bicillin shot. It's a non-painful subcutaneous firm lesion which a massage therapist felt 1 day after a bicillin shot about a week ago. It's not changing much. I have not used this area for another shot. There are no other symptoms.

I think it should resorb, but may take a while. Anyone have this? Any treatments? How long did it take to resolve? any info would be appreciated.

I would try heat and massage. I doubt it is an abscess as I believe those tend to be painful. You can develop scar tissue from the shots.
