How long will this take to go away?? I was being a bit fast with the injecting, but no faster than in the past, and this has never happened. I'm guessing it's because i hit myself so many times (5 shots)
 
Is the site painful or swollen also? If not you probably missed a little on one of the shots, nothing to worry to much about. I've had the same thing happen many times during my shooting career. But if it is painful or swollen you may have missed a whole shot which would significantly up the chances of an abcess or one of the shots could've been dirty & gave you an infection at the site either of which would require medical attention. Need more info than just red bumps & irritation to tell you anything better even then we can never be sure over the Internet. You know your body best, if it is worrying you that much go get medical attention!
 
I have had this before..not sure what it is, but they almost look like a little sweat bee sting or something right?
 
Nope, not painful. I flexed up quite a bit to get my vein to pop, so much that blood shot in the syringe without me having to pull back. I think maybe some blood leaked out, or yeah like you said I missed a little. I'm really just wondering how long it'll take for the lump to calm down, any ideas?
