red spot on my ass

[shmay]

im sure this has been asked many times before but here it goes. I am doing my second cycle of sust250 and am about 4 weeks in. a few days ago i went to inject in my glute and hit a vein so i changed needles shifted a half centimeter and did the shot. Now i have a red spot the size of a dime that is slightly swollen but does not hurt at all. The skin looks a little raw and im not sure if i should try to wait this out and try putting antiseptic cream around the area or some other for of treatment or if i should consult my doctor. I am concerned that maybe time is of the essence and that if i don't go to the doctor right away it might turn into something worse or maybe i am just overreacting. Any thoughts or input is appreciated.

i think ur overreacting, just give it a few days and it should go away. if its not gone in a week go to a doc.

Signs of infection:
Increasing pain, increasing swelling and redness, fevers, chills, malaise (feeling sh*tty).
Responds to antibiotics.

Signs of abcess:
All of the above, plus severe pain and fluctuance (a "tightening" of the skin and soft tissue due to pressure from a pocket of pus--usually very red and very swollen).
Requires surgical drainage.



You don't seem to really describe any of this.  Probably just a local reaction to the injection.
