HR - Improving the looks of your track marks

[karmatose]

Hi all,

Im trying to get some info on improving the look of my track record. I know primarily using a fresh outfit every use is imperative to a healthy body, however, in my conservative state, im having a harder and harder time getting a fresh pack of syringes.

Im wondering, would taking a small nail file or similar type device and "sanding" my skin down a bit, then lotioning it?

What about just lotion?

Aside from that how about aloe vera?

I realize I should've been doing this from the start but its something thats always on my mind, like last night for instance in a certain shade of light, for instance incandescent bulbs inside a kitchen I was telling a story talking with my hands and literally felt like my track marks and black mud veins were glowing. Im very sensitive about this and also very whats the word I feel like everyone knows and everyone is looking/judging

Anyways thanks for looking

No worries, no judgment! We are all on this drug forum and it’s not because we are God and need to tell anyone how to live their life!!
Track marks:
I personally always make sure that there is no h on the tip of the needle when I stick my skin. You wouldn’t think that it would make a mark but it does. Make sure you never inject unless you know for sure you are in a vein. I would get tracks up my arms and I just wore long sleeved shirts, always...or I would hit places that you would have covered most of the time, i.e. feet. They have vitamins that you can take for your skin, which is just vitamin E. I would get the vitamin e caps that have the gel in them...I would open them up and rub the oil into my skin which surprisingly helps. Also always use clean with alcohol after. I didn’t use a new rig each time I go high and never got really bad marks. You can even try acne medication. The kind with peroxide or some type of acid ingredients. My reasoning is that it dries you skin and caused the top layers to peel off. That would be better than using a file to scratch your skin off, not to mention you could just get bacteria in skin, possibly into the injection site and it will look a lot worse. And since I’m a girl, I would just put a little liquid concealer on them...I would put it on my guy friends as well, you can’t tell and that is the best way to conceal them right away and then use other methods for the long term.

I hope that helped a little!

uhh why don't you just use cream concealer and a loose powder to blend it??? It works better than anything... get a medicated concealer... one with salcylic acid or sulfur... it will disinfect and dry up the track... and like acie ardeat said... complete essential amino acids and complete vitamin supplements... and hydrate yourself with just water constantly.... i did this and never had more than one track mark at a time... one poke = one hit.... and i would get it so neat that it would heal completely in two days... good luck

use new needles, or be VERY careful with your needle, to make sure u dont bang it up at all, dont let the needle touch ANYTHING but your arm, and the cotton. keep it in the best shape, and it should stay sharp for a while. i wouldnt sand it down, no- but thats me. i think to myself about sanding a needle, then i start thinking it would probably leave little tiny shards/flakes watever on the end, and woudnt be pleasant. just me tho. i know in Cincinnati there was the needle exchange program, you bring in dirty used needles, and they would give you a couple new ones. that way the dirty ones got off the street, and the addicts would have a better chance of avoiding disease.
DONT go cheap with your addiction. buy good grade dope that your shooting directly into your blood stream (to avoid sand, or w/e the low level dealers cut it with), and buy clean needles. if you go cheap (use ur dudes needles, use ur OLD ones, buy cheap stomped dope) then your drastically RAISING your chances of catching a disease, or alternatively killing yourself.

*long story short- buy new needles man. dont fuck around with something so easily fixable, and regret it for the rest of your life (like your choice to shoot cheap heroin.)
*my girl would always put makeup on my arms if i had a interview, family gathering, or w/e.

Apart from the obvious issues with IV like not reusing equipment and rotating sites, I summarise the experiences of myself and my mates below:

* one guy swears by Hirudoid cream (expensive)
* someone else said anything with pawpaw in it is good
* use swabs pre-injection; not post. The iso thins the blood and makes it harder to clot
* I just thought then, maybe a cream with arnica in it could be good. Works well for regular bruises, not so sure about the kind were talking about.
* plain old zinc cream helps with small cuts and abrasions, might help here

anyway if you're having trouble finding fits, then these measures are the least of your worries. They get awfully blunt after even one poke, I can feel the difference. Perhaps switching to a fit with a smaller gauge might help reduce marks, however it can be hard to adjust once you're used to one kind.

Buy some flesh colored makeup and snort it instead of shooting it in the futire.
