I made a very stupid mistake, I was doing my injection as usual in the rear when I turned the other way to speak, using my thumb to push, one handed like an idiot! when I looked back, the 1.25" was about halfway in/out, anywhere from .5-1.0 ml went where it was not intended.

I knew this problem could arise, as now, 48 hours later its slightly red, not risen but itchy and feels like a bruise. The alarming part is its getting hard!? It seems to be what's known as a hard abscess..

now 'll admit, im an idiot an knew better, I've just became so comfortable with it, I didn't thick twice.

not to make a bad situation any worse, or to jump to conclusions but i believe its not progressed so I can treat myself with: 1) cipro tabs i have on hand 2) POSSIBLY the never opened sterile cipro drops i have through injection..? ( the tabs should work, injecting doesnr sound smart)

now you're probably wondering why I just don't go to the doctor? my brother in law is my family doctor, who also heads the local emergency room, with that being said I don't want certain people to know about the AA use.

I suppose I could drive 50 miles to a ER if necessary, but its not really developed to that point yet, nor do I know if it will go down or turn into a giant boil...

any advice or past experience similar to this would be very much appreciated as I don't want to jump to conclusions what convince myself to treat at home if its not a decent idea.

do I need antibiotics? / will it go away with antibiotics?
Should i wait? / should i go to the er? / must be drained?

Thanks you!
