Hey guys, I just slammed a bag after being clean for 3 months. I used a fresh pin and got some from a new guy. I was lazy and I didn't loosen the belt when I pushed the plunger in, also I did like half then waited to see how much I could do safely. I got these puffy white spots on my wrist right near the injection site. I am taking antibiotics for a hair folic infection under my armpit, could that be the reason for this reaction.

I didnt read anything about puss at the site of injection. its possibly a reaction to your antibiotics But maybe try a hot compress and just monitor it. if you feel shitty/ it gets worse you may want to seek medical attention.
 
Yea there is no puss and I have a heating pad on it and its going down. Also, the high isn't that good. I have a foggy head and feel a little nauseas, is this the result of not using for a while? Hopefully the negative effects will dissipate in time. Could the not so great feeling be the result of antibiotics? The guy usually has good shit, so I doubt it's what he has.

if its not puss then what are puffy white spots?

I dunno buddy, i know H sometimes gives you bumps, obviously thats more then a bump. Just look after it, if it keeps up u hit the DR

I dont know if H causes a reaction with any medicine, make an anonymous call to a dr/hospital and ask
 
Heroin should not have any interactions with most antibiotics, but some in theory could extend the half-life and potentiate it. Other antibiotics and antifungals have been known to have central effects.

All I can say is you should keep a hot compress on the injection site, and if you notice an abscess/swelling/redness/oozing or any of that fun stuff, apply a light sterile dressing to the wound and take yourself to a doctor so you don't end up with another infection.
