Update it is still growing and getting hotter, more red, and more painful. I have iced it 20mins on 1 hour off. The lump is getting soft is that bad or good? Like the lump is starting to get mushy in the middle. I have taken antibiotics, antihistamines, and anti inflammation meds. How quickly do I need to respond cause I don’t want to leave my family on vacation and ruin their moods, only my wife knows about this right now. It’s now been 30ish hours since initial injection.

What is your thought process here? Save the vacation and let this thing become life threatening? This is the internet, bro, no doctors here.
My thought process is, my kids are on vacation. I’m not gone for long and I don’t want to leave them and ruin it for them. Yes ik there are no doctors here, but I’m not trying to leave them if it is nothing, and I don’t want to scare the kids aswell.

Tell them your hemorrhoid popped and you need a stitch.
This is one of those 50/50 things. Maybe it goes away in a week with ice and benadryl. Maybe you get a huge infection and necrosis. No one here can tell you for sure.

Jesus Christ you're just throwing the kitchen sink at it.
Odds say it isn't an infection but that it's not happy with you finger fucking the already inflamed site 24/7 trying to figure out what's going on with it.
SubQ injections for some folks just cause issues, even after you've never had a reaction in the past. It happens.
Stop touching it, just completely stop touching it (other than maybe ice) for a little bit and see how it feels. If it continues to grow/becomes more painful/redness spreads (and not just from the ice, it will obviously make the site red), yeah just suck it up and go to an urgent care.

I’m aware and I haven’t been touching it either, that’s why I’m worried more aswell, due to it growing. This isn’t about just “sucking it up” as much as that seems the case this is only vacation I have with my kids, and they look forward to it, and me leaving for something life threatening ruins it, and I’m not even sure if it’s anything. I’m going to do what @BigDadd7 said and tell them it was just a hemorrhoid pop and I’ll go then. Thank you aswell for the piece of mind that it isn’t likely an infection although I will still go to the doctor.

Thank for this, that was one of my worries is scarring the kids. I will be going in tmrw to get this resolved
I had a similar situation a few weeks back with a delt injection using a 1cc 29g slin (200mg primo GSO).
Some of the oil must have been trapped subq. Left a ball of oil/fluid trapped in my delt the size of a ping pong ball. You could visually see the abcess and felt squishy etc.
Had a rash that kept growing (marked with a pen to track). Ended up extending down to my elbow. Never had a fever, tracked temp several times per day.
I waited about 4 days before taking my “fish antibiotics”. Within 3 days of starting treatment the rash had cleared and the access was 1/3rd the size and gone 3 days later.
Not saying this is the best course of action or if the antibiotics were responsible for handling the abcess, but I keep them on hand for situations like this.

On the bright side these kinds of events truly cure any remaining hypochondria you may have. Kind of an unknown beneficial side effect of injecting mystery juice ordered online....

Which antibiotics are you using?
Cephalexin it’s the only thing I have on hand
Honestly, it’s more than likely just irritated. But Jesus Christ what is worse…maybe scaring your kids (don’t even tell them you’re going to the hospital) or having a fucking abscess lanced? I know my answer. As stated, there is no one here that can tell you for sure what it is. Hell, even a doctor will just guess it’s infected and throw a course of antibiotics at it. Just drag your ass to a walk in and get the script.

Doctor, what is your expert opinion

A course of ambien and miralax should clear you right up
should I try to drain the fluid with my own syringe I’ll just stab into the abscess and pull back on the syringe

Surprised it took so long to mention antihistamines. Those and ice. The good thing about SubQ is that it’s still part of the skin, so there are defenses. Usually pretty safe.
thanks for the piece of mind. I appreciate your response

Glow / GHK-Cu does this to me. Goes away eventually.
But no, I wouldn’t try to drain myself. It’s not a drain as much as a suck… the odds of fucking it up 2x is too much for my estimation.
