Hematoma and lipodystrophy are potential side effects of insulin injections. Hematoma refers to bruising caused by bleeding under the skin from an injection. Lipodystrophy involves changes in fat tissue, including lipoatrophy which is fat loss and lipohypertrophy which is fat buildup. The document presents images illustrating examples of hematoma, lipoatrophy, and lipohypertrophy side effects from insulin injections.
