Infection

Are you only pinning glutes? I have heard of guys getting something called a sterile abscess in an area that they have pinned so often that a buildup of scar tissue will not absorb the oil, causing the abscess.

Yes glutes only. Want to try thighs but
1. Not sure 1 1/2 needles are to long
2. Not sure I can go to doctor for 4th time with an infection and not feel like a total idiot

try lats, triceps, shoulders, etc.

i have shoulder acne so i would never inject my shoulders. you should probably skip ass completely aswell. its just not good to pin infested area already
 
Different draw needle everytime too? Pinning with a 23g sounds diabolical too some of yall are tough sobs
I regret pinning for years with a 23ga 1 inch, even in delts. I also used to draw and pin with the same needle. Totally unnecessary given how cheap needles are, but I can’t change the past. Lot of scar tissue, especially in quads. Now i draw with 23ga and pin with 25ga- 5/8.

Ok. Use 5/8 everywhere. No fear it’s to short and doesn’t reach muscle. I’m lean so…

I don’t suggest using 5/8 in glutes but quads and delts should be fine. Same with pecs or lats. I have never pinned lats and only tried pec once recently but plan on incorporating them into the rotation.

When I first got prescribed trt my doc had me drawing and pinning with a 23g to the quads. That lasted about 2 weeks. Now I draw w 23 and shoot 27g 1inch for glutes, delts with those 30g thin wall nipro .5 inch ppl were talking about awhile ago (fucking money btw), and 27g .5 inch everywhere else. Will be buying the 27g nipro thin walls when I run out of everything else they are so smooth.

Just judging by the veins in your quad pic you look lean enough to use 5/8 pretty much everywhere. Since you’ve only ever been pinning glutes, maybe let them sit out a few rotations lol. Like others have said, 3 delt heads, multiple spots in quads, lats, triceps, pecs. Ventro glute (if you can find it.)

That’s why I use 23. The trt place used it. I do have some 25 5/8 so I’ll probably bite the bullet and try quads.

You’ll either love them or hate them. I actually only do my right quad bc I hit fuckin nerves everytime I do my left lol. Delts/lats are my favorite personally
 
They look like ingrown hairs from shaving or something like that.
Except they filled with puss and explode. Had to get biopsy on them. Took some anti fungal pill for two weeks. Basically whatever chemical effects it had on skin closed pores and put a layer over skin caused bacterial growth on skin. The

That doesn't sound like normal gear-related acne. Could be a ton of things, and could be several factors making it worse - exposure to staph/mrsa, using the wrong soap, tight fitting synthetic workout clothes like bike shorts or rashguards, dirty wrestling/bjj mats, shit diet, an allergy...
Send your gear off for testing, but rule out everything else too. Biopsy confirmed fungus or they gave that to you just in case it came back positive?
