massaging steroid injections

[Mrlolite31]

some guy at the gym who I am friends with said that you are supposed to massage the spot you inject steroids because it helps prevent scar tissue and abscesses. I’ve had 2 lumps drained in the past year from steroid use so I want to prevent that from happening
do you guys do anything like that yourselves, and how about applying ice or heat to it? I’ve had issues with injection lumps

never massage, apply direct pressure where you injected and hold for a min or 2.
