Abcess? Warm lump on me ass!

[JoNeS]

2nd time this has happened to me. First time was on my delt a few years ago. Went to the doc, gave me some anti-biotics and it went away.

I injected 1.5mls of Test Enth in my ass cheek on Monday. I normally get a tiny lump and it's tender for a few days, then it goes away.

It's Satarday now, and I've got a pretty good sized lump. I'd estimate it at 3" x 5". It's very tender to touch and it's also very warm to the touch.

You think this will go away? Any meds I could take for it, w/o gettin a prescription? If not, what should I tell my doc? Last time on my delt it looked reddish and like a rash. Doc didn't ask any questions.

But being that this is on my ass cheek.....kinda don't know what to say yet

Read my thread about my 1st bad injection in 8 years. I went to the doc b/c I thought I had an abcess. Mine started immediately after injection. Grew as days went on. Turned out it was just bad locallized swelling and irritation. I shot my glute with an oil water mix but didnt shoot deep enough. It got caught in whatever is between my ass muscles and skin.. Hurt like hell. I wouldnt use heat. Ice and anti-bacterial creams worked. I got a script for keflex but didnt end up using it.

If you are getting these red, irritated lumps after every injection.. I would probably read up on injection technique, make sure your sterilizing everything or find different gear.

I see you have been here for quite some time and I am no newbie either, but sometimes we start to cut corners and thats when bad things can happen. Good luck though!

I keep keflex on hand for when this happen's so i don't have to go to the doc,you can get keflex or amoxicillan pretty cheap from a overseas pharmacy.

if it is red and hot to the touch it is very possible that you have infection, for this reason you should see physician

BD. Update, the lump seems slightly smaller today, and not as painful.

I'm gonna give it a few days and see what happens.
