How to get rid of those IV bubbles when squeezing veins?

[verysadman]

Not really sure the word im looking for, or how to describe it really. I've used IV maybe 10-15 times, and when I squeeze my arm, or wrap something tight around it to show the veins, you can see every spot I've ever used a needle. It makes like a pinky nail sized bump, or bubble. I have no idea what this is called, or why they're there, but it's kinda obvious if someone were to ever look for needle spots....

Anyone know how to get rid of them or what the cause is?

Thanks!

Hey verysadman. I'm going to move this thread over to Basic Drug Discussion where I think it will be more appropriate.

Take care.

Possibly scar tissue buildup? Are the parts that are visible fresh hits? Or are they old and have been used repetitively?

Justva little more general info like that mightchelp come to a conclusion, but mightnt be able to give a definitive answet.

I used to get red lumps like that when I first started injecting, I think it was just due to improper technique bc it almost never happens to me anymore. If you use a clean needle every time and you dont miss, The injection site should be pretty much unnoticeable

Sorry if this is completely wrong, but you aren't talking of vein valves right?

^This. Don't shoot into your valves.

Im not sure. its been 6+ months since ive shot, but if i wrap something tight around my arm i get a spot under the skin on the vein exactly where i shot. kinda looks like those valves but its just exactly where i stuck myself.

I inverted the colors to show more of what I mean, regular color on crappy phone cam cant really tell but this may help

Actually looking at that diagram more, i might just be tripping and it very well may be vein valves
