Heroin White blotches/bumps.....

[BackSeatSuicide]

So as of 15min ago, I've officially shot up Heroin 6 times (its been the Black Tar kind, since in Washington Sate where I live, it's very very rare to get any other kind, tho I wish I could find some of the white powder kind like John Travolta gets in "Pulp Fiction" lol China White). First time was about a month ago, give or take a day. And up until yesterday, I have never experienced this before; Around the injection site, I got redness, with white blotches that are raised up a lil bit. What is causes this ? I'm thinking its not too serious of a thing. Cause when it happens, the high doesn't feel any different, I don't feel sick at all, and they go away after about 10-15min, maybe less. Now from what I read about IV'ing H, is that it can make you itch, and make the skin around the injection site turn red or white, or both, but I've never heard anything about Blotches that are raised up a bit, making like 2 - 4 bumps that vary in size. The biggest one being about the size of a quarter, and someone of them as small as a penny. And they do itch a lil bit, but like I said, they go away after about 10min or so.

Is this something I should worry about ? Or is it a normal occurrence when IV'ing H ? Sorry if this is a noob question, but like I said, I looked on this forum (tho I could have missed it) and other forums/sites and they talk about redness, itching, and possibly stinging if you do clean the needle off after sticking it in the Heroin solution and before sticking it into your vein (which I did that on accident the first time, was so nervous, I forgot to dip the needle in the clean water, and that shit actually burned a lil bit lol) but I haven't found anything about white Blotches/Bumps. So if anyone can let me kno whats up with this happening, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any helpful replies

It's normal, it's a histamine reaction caused by the introduction of foreign matter (and heroin) to your body.

You shouldn't be injecting tar heroin without running it through a micron filter.

well according to most people on here, you shouldn't inject anything without running it through a micron filter. But sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. I found out more about it after finally getting ahold of some of my mutual user friends, and I even asked my step dad cause he used to do it back in the day, and that shit just happens sometimes, but just like when it happened to me, it goes away after like 10min, so its all good. Anyways, thanks for the info.

Oh and I do have a Micron filter, I use it for pills.

LOFL!!! Not that you shouldn't, just the response was funny, and so everyone I have met in life who I have said the words "micron filter" was like wtf???

BTW, I saw you asked how to shoot roxi's in a post??? Do you still need to know, I love shootin me some oxy...er, at least I used to.

(Seriously though, even I wouldn't shoot tar without a M-filter!!!Well, I would, but ya know...

I would certainly shoot pills before shooting BTH without micron filtering, and I'm probably the 2nd most aggressive proponent of Micron Filtering on this site.

Maybe you should check out some of the BTH cases in the Case Studies Thread.
