Hey, i'm new here so i'm not sure if this is in the right place, hopefully it is.

Anyway here's my problem, sorry it's a little gross. i missed a shot in my wrist yesterday and now today there are little bubbles that look like blisters on top of where i missed. They keep getting bigger and one of them poped. I'm not talking about the bigger bump you usually get when you miss, i ran it under hot water for a while and the normal swelling is pretty much gone by now. But the weird little blister things are still there. Has anybody else ever had something like that happen and did it just go away by itself?
 
Never have gotten that from a missed shot, but sounds like it could be some sort of infection. If it gets worse go to the hospital.

Anyway you can take a picture? May be of help more.
 
Yeah, I used to get those trying to hit in places I usually didn't. I guess they are like abscesses. I was too high to really give a shit, but yeah, they did go away. Warm water is supposed to make them go away faster.
 
When the blister popped, was the escaping liquid clear like sebum, or green and thicker like pus?

A friend of mine had similar tiny blisters after a (small) missed shot but they consisted only of sebum (the clear liquid that comes out of a friction blister only a little stickier). They all popped within a few days and he never had a problem with them. Totally cleared up within 2-3 days.
 
perhaps you scolded your skin while you were rinsing it under hot water? causing the blisters.

keep a close eye on them and make sure not to pop them intentionally; you may develop an infection. if they don't clear up in a day or two, start to get worse then seek medical attention asap.
 
maybe some vitamin e oil, tea tree oil, and triple antibiotic ointment? always used to help me when i missed a couple times (and no im not saying i only missed a couple times to dicksize and be like "oh im so cool i have only missed 2-3 shots out of hundreds" im not like that) but it also helped heal burns from nodding with a lit cigarette pain gone instantly from the cooling tea tree oil and the burns healed with almost no scar because of the vitamin e and neosporin (triple antibiotic ointment), today, 3 years later there are no scars or marks at all besides scars on my crooks from over use and for a few months i was shooting my subs. so maybe consider investing in those items.. like everyone else said if it gets worse go see your doctor or any doctor or best a dermatologist (if money isnt an issue or you have insurance.) hope all works out, good luck.. if i prayed i would for you, but i dont so your SOL in that department :D just keep an eye on it and answer one of the posters above about what came out when it popped, it could help us speculate more accurately to what it is. %)

The stuff that came out was clear, so hopefully it will go away soon. I've been putting neosporin on it and keeping it clean to try to keep it from getting infected

It's not a burn, it doesn't hurt at all and the water wasn't that hot.

So it's been a few days and the bubble/ blister things are gone but today it got really red, it wasn't red at all before. Here's a picture of what it looks like now

It's not a scab even though it kind of looks like it. Also it doesn't hurt and it isn't swolen.

Do you guys think it's ok if i just wait and see what happens? i really don't wanna go to the doctor

First off, that big beatuiful vein on your hand is where I hit. Always works like a charm. Honestly, when you shoot it's a gamble. I shoot too so I know. I actually have a bump underneath my skin that is like a little ball. Its getting gradually smaller but it totally scared the shit out of me and I still have a little pain in my arm. The best advice I can give you is this. Try too rub it in. Seriously. That and the warm water. It could also be an allergic reaction. Heroin is cut with god only knows what. I mean most people will tell you it's cut with quinine (sp?) and lactose powder. Although these are the conventional cutting agents, obviously delaers can put whatever they want. Before I use too shoot, and just moved it, I use too cut it with protein powder!

Try taking benedryl. If it dosent get better, or get's worst. Seek medical attention. Be honest with them. Even though there going too treat youl ike your a junkie piece of shit (which is fucked up), they'll still give you the medical attention you may need. But it sounds like it will get better IMO. It's probabley just an allergic reation too the cut.

Good luck!

yes it's gone now it left a little scar but its starting to go away.
 
I know what you're talking about. It's happened to me a few times , the worst after a 200mg missed shot of morphine (kadian).

I tried to help it heal with a really hot heat pack and I guess I fell asleep with it on my arm.I woke up and had two big blisters that may have came from the heat pack, but probally was from the missed shot. I think whatever shit got lodged in my arm rose to the surface and was released through the blister. I have like 6 penny sized marks like this on my right arm from missed that started exactly as you have explained. It's kinda weird, just keep an eye on it and 90% of the time is should get better.

Heat and pressure (massage) are the ways to help missed shots from getting really bad.
