Dude, have you sorted it out yet? I know everyone is bombarding you with Oh you're gonna die call 911.. oh my! and well they are mostly correct, but if you are the type of junkie that I am, well you aren't going to listen to allat noise.. sorry Karen

-- anyway, i've been IVDU for years and never experienced an abscess until I moved out to Cali and started slamming the shitty tar that is out here. Almost every IV tar user in my treatment center had experienced this also and while YES you should go to the Doctor and take antibiotics and allat.. you prob won't and I never did, and I still have all 2 of my arms and all 2 of my legs and totally 19 fingers and toes (unrelated).. I can tell you what worked for me... but I'm not a dentist so.. good luck. I used tea tree oil and peroxide and 70 or 90 % Rubbing Alcohol and some gauze wrap and medical tape and bandaids.. don't try to force the shit out of it,,, but when it feels really hot and like it might explode, I would hop in the shower with a syringe and alcohol and rubbing alcohol and peroxide and tea tree oil and soap.. put the rubbing alcohol on it first along with the tea tree oil and let it dry.. i would hop in the hot shower and let the water massage my arm until inevitably the skin broke and the most disgusting shit ever came oozing out of my body.. it was weird, but I kinda liked it.. fucked up I know but the stuff stinks and is gross so try to keep it contained.. it is like popping a pimple though, you'll get a relief.. just don't try to force the stuff out, b/c it will flow out pretty freely given time.. at least mine did.. last year i went home for the holidays and had a gnarly one on my arm but I was able to hide it from my family for the week. It will get hot and feel full and really sore and I would put pressure on the area around it and sometimes I would sterilize a syringe and try to barely poke below the skin until the puss comes out by just pushing down on the skin around it until it drained about all it would drain then i would rinse with alcohol and peroxide and tea tree oil.. then wash with warm soapy water.. the infection should subside, in my case it did a bunch of times... i think i ended up with like, well i can't remember how many I have had in just 2 years of my latest run.. BUT, I did recently have a friend who DIED due to sepsis.. he was in jail and I guess wasn't getting proper treatment and didn't want to alert anyone and he is no longer with us... so, I'll tell you to go to the DR,,, but I never did, so it would be kinda hypocritical of me to only give you that option... Dr's see all kinda shit though man, just hit up a minute clinic that you never have to go back to, they will judge u, but not to your face... but for real, if it gets any worse or just keeps draining, def let a pro look at it.. just saying.. don't be dumb like me.. also get ready for a shitty scar if you go the DIY route.. even with neosporin and scar cream.. up to you.. sorry for the rant.. I'm a morning person. best of luck to you!
