dankstersauce gave the best reason.
When I first started using dope and other drugs IV, I had the alcohol wipes, fresh needles, distilled water, sterile cotton filters, hydrogen peroxide and paper towels.
Your attitude towards hygeine changes a whole lot. I still really don't care about it. Water on the skin feels like hell whether you're high, sick or on maintanence.
When you get a shot a the doctors office or hospital, its one time. Even if they brought a Heroin addict with horrible technique off the street to take a ml of blood with a dull needle, it wouldn't be a big deal: it would be a tiny red dot that would heal. If you went to the doctors office or hospital 3-10 times a day for a shot, despite perfect hygiene, you would get tracks after weeks, months, years of doing this everyday.
Multiple (and I mean multiple) needle pricks a day, especially if you miss sevral times or can't hit a vein after multiple tries, combined with dull needles, lots of bacteria infected cottons, water/liquid, etc, and careless or poor technique (another thing that changes with time. Vein rotation, technique, etc doesn't mean shit when you're sick and want to get that shot before you piss/shit/vomit all over your self).
One of my bad habits was once I put the needle in, I'd dig around until I got in the vein- usually this meant I went on too much of an angle, leading to a needle bent on the verge of breaking under the skin trying to maneuver it blindly, shaking and anxious/frustrated into the ever elusive vein. Shit like that leaves black and blue bruises, bright red spots, pus collecting, etc.
IV Cocaine is the worst offender. Needing a new injection every 30 seconds-10 minutes until you're out of coke, plus cokes effect as a local anaesthetic, plus the nature of large doses of stimulants on the CNS leading to severe shaking, unnatural jerks, etc. IV Cocaine does a hell of a lot more damage than other commonly injected drugs.

Whenever im able to find a vein I'll use it until it just doesnt draw back ny blood anymore. Since its so hard to find a vein after iving everyday for so long. I've got scars all over from shooting in the same place. You dont care about health when your sick and need to get high.
