Hi ive been just reading articles for a while here. I Have been slamming cocaine all night. Did prolly a 8 ball. I have a huge purple mark on one of my arms. Wondering if this will eventually go away.
 
ummm.. i haven't actually heard that one.. purple huh..
If you still have mobility in your arm and there isn't pain i'd say you're fine, unless it gets worse tomorrow then get it checked out.

check out the "safe guide to injecting", umm no link off the top of my head.

you know i'll bet its because you have an iron deficiency and you just bruise terribly easy.

veins dont last forever man, thats a lot of times to poke yourself. i used to do it but when you start to see the veins fade its high time to really slow down.
having poor blood flow (collapsed veins) can easily take 15-20 years off your life..
 
Sure you can show a picture that's great!

There's some simple threads about that here, let me dig them up for you!

You also want to read up as much as possible about this before attempting it. Go to the OD Directory, and read the other links about safer intravenous/injecting drug use. :)

You can find the OD Directory linked 1) in my signature, and 2) at the top of Other Drugs.

Ouch! I'm guessing a blood blister.

Were you re-using needles? Were you re-using injection sites? Did you miss your shot? Is there localized pain/inflammation (it's hard to tell based on the pic you gave us)?

Have you used a heat compress if you missed your shot?
Yes to all those except heat compress. Im gonna take a shower righ tnow.
 
Know of anyway to hide the marks at least? I have to go see my gf tmrw and im sure shes gonna wanna have sex and im gonna be screwed (wow that was not intended to be a sex refrence)

if you haven't already seen your lady, its possible to cover them up with make-up. go to the drug store and tell an employee you've been shooting up drugs and have them help you pick out the right color. or tell them you are a cross dresser.

edit: its probably not very good for a wound thats still open.
 
Thats probably not an issue, it happened to me at the hospital last week when they gave me an IV, the nurse said it was nothing to worry about. It was there for like 3 days tho before it started to fade away.
 
wile he has sex? lmfao who wears clothes during sex... exept sox :P

Sorry to de-reail
I had an X that would keep her bra on during sex. I told my friend about it and he thought it to be weird.

About two years later he calls me saying didn't you say "g.f's name" kept her bra on while you guys had sex? I said yea y, he responded saying how her friends told him that her new boyfriend kept his shirt on while they did it. I know who her new b.f was so the visual of him w/ his shirt on and her w/ her bra on is hilarious to me.
 
You could always get her intoxicated. ;)


Looks normal for anyone who reused and slammed coke all night. Next time don't reuse, rotate veins, and don't slam coke all night!
