If it don't spread, don't worry about it.
An abcess is usually encapsulated which is why it gets hard.

Here you go. This is one of the most famous threads on my site, but it's down, so hopefully I remember it all.
You can drain it yourself.
5ml 10% BA water in 5ml syringe.
Inject that into abcess and work it around while leaving needle in.
Now the puss is thin enough to draw out. Draw out 5ml and you can remove syringe and draw out as much more as you can.
Make another 5ml of 10% BA water and inject that in and leave it or it may be inject 1-2 ml of straight BA, I don't remember.
That's it.
Injecting into the abcess won't hurt as it's encapsulated at that point. In a couple days it will start to go down as the BA inhibits bacteria growth.
It's tried and true and nobody who has done it ever came back and said they then had to go to a DR!

Parker...Just tell the Doc that you and your girlfriend were getting it on on the carpet in the sowing room. Tel him that a pin for tacking cloth stuck you in the leg...
Tell him that you were putting away the Christmas tree and one of the wire bulb hangers stuck you in the leg...
DAMN GUYS, it ain't hard to tell him something other than "I injected steroids with a dirty needle."
Be creative!

Everything heals evenually on its own, but you do not know if you have an infection, if so you need to see an MD

I have a similar problem, too. I'm not doing so great with sticking myself these days.
On Fri, I injected into my thigh. No problems. Wiped the bottle, used a new syringe to draw, drenched my thigh in alcohol, used new a 23g 1" tip and pretty much buried it. Aspirated. Injected a tiny amt and waited 30 sec. Injected the rest of it.
Blood came out when I pulled out. Guess I nicked a vessel. No big deal.
Saturday AM, I was fine. I did legs at 1pm, I stretched out first and was feeling limber and good. Saturday night (same day) I went in to sit in the sauna and I realized that my leg was a little swollen by the kneecap, not where I injected.
It's visually puffy and I can't bend it much. Feels like it's full of fluid.
I'm going to monitor it. If it gets any worse, I'm going straight to a doc. I think it would be good to have a bottle of doxycycline on hand, just in case it happens in the future.
It's one of those "what the hell" type of things. Anyone have any idea what happened?
