Injecting drugs: Ouc: I appreciate your honesty and am happy to give you some advice. Injecting drugs can lead to significant complications. Given your description it sounds as if you have the makings of a severe injury or infection at the injection site. If it is hot or warm and red or is you see anything like pus collecting in the spot please get to a non-judgmental health care provider who will treat this.
