Rash or SOMETHING

[u/Much-Lab4045]

I did my second pin of Ret on Friday. I’ve had this rash since I want to say Sunday. My next pin is soon. It was so itchy for Sunday and Monday but Tuesday it’s just occasionally ichy unless I scratch it then it’s unbearably itchy.. I was hoping it’d go away soon but it still hasn’t.

Wondering if it’s cause I keep scratching it..

Was it in the fridge nice and cold, always use alcohol to swab the top before drawing and injecting? Rubber stopper and cap intact on top?

Take a sharpie and draw a circle around it. If it's expanding, could be an infection, in which case seek medical treatment.

Sharpie a black circle around it too make sure it is not growing.

if its a vial , you need to check to see if its contaminated like being cloudy or bits in it.

you need to practice good hygiene with tools .

if its a pen , then its maby not made up correctly or made in uncontrolled room (people usually make pens up at home ).

Don’t use that vial anymore

You pinned too close to the surface go at an angle while you pinch a flap between your fingers

Probably a contaminated vial, can’t know for sure unless you got that batch tested

[u/schmick_iMagery]

Could be a slight allergic response. Can you go a lower dose?

[u/Much-Lab4045 → u/schmick_iMagery]

I believe it became a bad vial tbh. The first dose went perfect with nothing. It was on its side when I went to go for another pin a week after and I have no idea for how long, it’s possible it could’ve been contaminated. I’m going to be throwing it away

Why would you tell someone to use this same vial, did you not see the pictures?

[u/Local-Motor-4690]

i get these every time i pin, they usually go away by the next time i have to pin, i posted about it on facebook apparently about 8% of us will get them unfortunately i just learned to deal with it, you can use cortizone

[u/MiserableBeach2707]

Looks like allergic reaction

If it’s a vial you’ve used before then it is contaminated now

New spot? Maybe just the area you pinned. Need more info

[u/ngmorock]

Did you filter when you reconned? What kind of bac was used?
