Hi guys I just created this account to seek answers about a problem a friend is having. He just started IVing heroin and after several uses the vein he was using in his arm is no longer visible, and no longer available to use for injection. This is not what he is worried about, he realizes that it is just a collapsed vein. The problem at hand here is that there is a fairly hard bump right beneath the injection site. Theres no pain, no redness and when his arm is extended straight out it is definitely noticeable. The bump is very hard, and can be pushed on without feeling any pain. Does anyone have any answers to what this may be and is it something he should be worried about?

How long has the bump been there?
Did he miss a shot there?
It could be either just from a missed shot and be irritated or it could be an abcess. If it continues getting worse I would seek medical attention.

Yes a shot was missed there, what is an abcess? It's been bout and week and it hasn't gotten worse. It just feels like there is a rock under his skin, maybe not quite as solid and hard but its a tough bump.

Here's some info from Wiki:
An abscess (Latin: abscessus) is a collection of pus (dead neutrophils) that has accumulated in a cavity formed by the tissue in which the pus resides on the basis of an infectious process (usually caused by bacteria or parasites) or other foreign materials (e.g., splinters, bullet wounds, or injecting needles). It is a defensive reaction of the tissue to prevent the spread of infectious materials to other parts of the body.

Seek medical attention. An abscess is very serious.
