HGH site itching! please help

**flabbywussy** · 03-22-2008, 09:46 PM

got some hGH yellow tops "somatropin" from a well known source and all i gotta say is the first couple bottles were ok not redness swelling itching etc.. after injection, but now every shot seems to get swollen and itchy after i shoot it the next day. anyone else have this problem?? is the gh fake or something..i don't get it...i always prep my inject site perfectly so no infections ever in the past 5 yrs

Those effects are quite common especially with Chinese HGH brands. The welts/itchning don't necessaraly always appear immidietly post injection, sometimes these effects occur the next day, and no it doesn't mean you HGH is fake.

In most cases these effects are nothing to worry about. They can take a few hours or a few days to disappear but they defenitely won't stick around for good.

I am not sure what you can treat this with as I don't excatly know the cause of these welts.

These effects always, and I mean always occur with these Chinese aftermarket HGH brands. Never has anyone reported these welts and itchyness when using Jintropin or Saizen, but there are defenitely many users who love these aftermarket HGH brands.

i'm gonna take a pic and post it up here, so u can give your opinion on it. i've never had a lump like this b4 and it's kind of freakin me out.

When i got them they reminded me of massive mosquito bites so i reasoned that some topical antihistamine or corticosteroid may help.

weird - im on the same ones for 3 weeks now and I have nothing like that ..
are you reusing needles or anything ?

**petethemanc** · 04-03-2008, 04:04 AM

Just one thing. Are you keeping everything nice and sterile? from pre to post inject? id say im overkill on the sterile dept, i glove up, make sure gloves are sterile, swab the vial lid, change needles after drawing, swab needle,swab inj area, swab after, and then make sure i have a sterile dressing covering for an hour. Overkill i know but i like to be safe.
