Hello,
A couple days ago I shot up some dope in both arms, about 6 times in the left and about 3 times in the right. The next day, and today included, the injection site became a bit swelled, sore and bruised (discolored) which is typical of my arms; they don't take needles very well at all.
This time, however, a large red rash has formed around the injection site and continues a bit down the arm in each direction. It is quite large on the left arm (the one I did the most shots in) and smaller in the right. It does not itch or particularly hurt too much, although like I said the area is tender.
Does anyone know what this is? My guess is that there was some irritants in the dope that is now causing the rash, but since I hardly ever shoot up, my guess is as good as my cat's, who honestly hasn't been very helpful thus far.
