What can cause abscett

[Backwoodsfl]

Need some help here

sterile abscess is caused when you miss the muscle when you inject and the oil clumps up in a ball. you will either have to have it drained out which is difficult or you will have to just leave it alone and let it shrink up on its own over time.. it can take a while. it doesn't hurt or anything but it will be a pea sized lump

infected abcess you will likely need anti-biotics, that is gonna be red/swollen.. possibly hot to the touch. that obviously is caused by an infection which can happen for many reasons.

Steve I had the second one. Really scared of my gear now. Wasnt sure if maybe I took to many pins to one area

^^ that can cause it too.. pinning the same area over and over. if its infected get some anti-biotics man.. i always keep them on hand in case.. if you don't have some then time to visit a doc

^^^always keep Keflex around. with ETOH in the gear it's actually hard to get anything to really grow in there (the few thing that will are bad or some sort of inert particulate (even tiny tiny things) that your body will not like once it's inside you)--so it is usually user error (easy to put the pin on the bathroom counter for a second and bam--nasty. must also always use swabs in the top of the vial before you pole the pin through--and clean hands--I am paranoid and actually use those disposable gloves--

Steve I'm on them now. Just scared to finish gear now. I've drain area twice already. If you get a chance I sent u a message. Really want to thank everyone with all the help.

Eddy I did pin different with same gear and no reaction of swelling a little sore but not like what happen on my arm. So don't know if it's the gear

probably not--bet you just picked-up something the first time--very easy to do or sometimes if too near a nerve bundle your body can react a bit weird.

I'm so hoping cause I've never had problem before and always had great gear
