    Scar tissue

    Is there a risk of scar tissue building up if you inject b12 in the same spot repeatedly?

    not positive here, but i dont think the actual injectable has anything to do with it, scar tissue comes from repeatedly penetrating/damaging the tissue, or in other words from repeated injections...i dont think it would matter what you injected over over, the point is that you are injecting multiple times...

    There is a risk of building up scar tissue no matter what you inject if you use the same spot frequently. You can limit the amount if you switch the spots up a little bit. Not necessarily move to a different muscle, but at least switch locations in the muscle.

    Everytime you inject you are creating scar tissue. Its best to rotate injection sites especially when injections are frequent(ED, EOD).
