I dont think you have an infection. I just used 1cc of test e from qv and it hurt like hell the day after. But it has gone down but still hurts. I would still give it time it will go away. If its an infection it probably will go away by itself. But the doc can give you antibiotics to make it go away faster. JMO

Highly unlikely that you have an infection..

Are you using proper injection procedures?

If the area becomes inflamed and burns or feels warm to the touch, then you may have an infection brewing, but it doesn't sound like that's the issue..Probably just from the injection technique along with the BA in the gear..I wouldn't worry about it for now..

If it gets hot then maybe... more than likely you are just being paranoid from your first shot...

Ice it to reduce the swelling.

If I read what your saying right then you had no swelling, minimal pain, only redness after your first ever delt shot?

I would really think that it the BA content only and Not an infection. I have the same thing happen to me when I first went past 2cc in the delt area only, it got red, almost rash like but it did go away within about 5-6 days.
This happened in both delts but not to be outdone when it was delt time again I went ahead and did it again only this time it didn't go red again.

no infection, it would be very sore and big!

i've had hard spots on my delts all the time, hurt and sucked, whatever, don't worry about it, seems like it actually went pretty well for you
