3rd Vanquish treatment and I have a sizable welt. Is this normal?

KelsieJoy406Oct 8, 2014
I just received my third Vanquish treatment. Typically my hip bone area is sore for a few days after each treatment, is this normal? My provider didn't seem too worried about it. Yesterday I received my 3rd treatment and had a hot spot on my right hip. I now have a palm sized lump over my right hip bone. It's raised and looks like a large welt. Will this go away? Should I forego my final treatment?
