I think it depends where they put it Eilish has her's into her chest,

and has little red dots, very very tiny. But in her arms she has no

marks.

My son has a scar from his picc line from his time in the NICU. HE

also has a scar from a regular IV he had 6 months ago.

I am quite sure that it depends on the child...

Mallory has several of those " bumps " from picc lines...and since she

has had her port 3 years...those picc lines were more than 3 yrs

ago! doesn't seem to have the bumps from his piccs, but he

does have a scar from where the radiologist attempted to do a cutdown

in his upper arm (I am still fuming about this) Of course, scars are

just that.... ironically, the scars in their necks are no longer

visible AT ALL (from the cutdown when they put their ports in) and

the ones on their rib cages where they put in the port are also very

visible. So I think this must have something to do with the skill of

the surgeon and making the cut...since the cutdown on 's arm

was not done by a surgeon (nor was asleep) and it is more

obvious than the tiny incisions on their necks.

Hope this helps.

This was in her arm and she still has a bump there. She has had IV's before

in here hand and they have gone away but this in closer to her upper arm and

I just wonder if there was a different? Deb A
