What to do if you miss the vein?

I was wondering what exactly you should do if you miss? Should you apply a warm compress immediately inside the area or should you apply a cold compress? Online says both so :/ what's the best way to treat it, immediately and overall. How can I minimalize the visibility of the miss?

Which drug are we talking about?

Some can be handled IM (intra-muscular), some can not.

If it's visible - did you pop the skin? Because that would not be IM (but potentially more dangerous).
 
Meth specifically Images

Its not bad nor do I think it'll even be something you'd be able to notice here in a little while this is like 45 mins after injection. I was just asking mainly for general knowledge.

How long it been like that and what's it feel like?

Warm compress could help yes but if it gets worse then that probably means it's infected

This was less than an hour after injecting and I probably missed about 25-35ml. It's been about an hour and a half now so prob an hour since I took those photos and it's already going down. It's a little tender but overall feels roughly the same as if I had only missed a couple mls.
 
That's good doesn't sound infected like cellulitis or something but if it gets worse definitely watch. But yeah I'd say warm compression elevate arm
