    shit man. why does people get infections? but when you get an infection, does it get all big and swelled at once (like in the pics) or does it start just a little red and sore, and then grow bigger and bigger?

    They start out sore and tender to touch.Then they take on fluid under the skin and it builds up from there.Looking like a huge pimple.Been there...not fun....

    Starts red and sore and worsens.

    Unsterile gear or not being sterile enough when injecting.

    Is it getting hard?

    Starting to form a lump?


    You don't want to know what I do to get rid of these abscesses.

    Should it worsen,you'll need to go to the doctor and get it drained.

    it can't be to often, it was my first time to shoot the right tricep. but today,when i shot my right quad, it hurted like HELL, i think i hit some nerves or something, and when i took the needle out, it was streaming blood down my tighs, and i mean it really FLOW down... and now, it really is sore and tender and shit, and when i touch it it feels like its burning.. maybe 2 infections that is really not cool

    the one on my tricep, hasn't gotten any spesific shape yet, just like an red and sore rectangle, but i'm not red on the actual needlemark, it is lower on the arm.. maybe 1-2 cm below the injection spot

    It sounds as though you aren't in bad shape yet.If it starts to form a small lump,then you'll need to really monitor it.
    If you have any antibiotics around,you might want to take some for a few days.That has worked for me in the past when I caught them in the early stages.

    go to the doc and get some kelflex before your arm looks like that dude. Also, take some Motrin to take away the pain an inflammation
