A member asked:
1st let me just say, i do not need a lecture. 2nd i've been clean for 6 years & relaps on meth for 2 days and am back on track and sober now. but i missed when doing a shot and want to know how to tell the difference between an abcess and a knot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
While swelling and minor bruising can happen after a shot, they usually get better within a day or so. However, if swelling and discoloration persist, it may signify an infection. A lump under the skin that feels soft, mushy, and painful may indicate a developing abscess.
