I ALWAYS CUT ALL THE VET GEAR WITH BACTEROSTERIC WATER OR STERILE OIL DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS BC OF THE SHITTY GUIDELINES TOWARDS CLEANLINESS THE COUNTRYS HAVE. I JUST HAD A SIST IN MY SHOULDER FROM A VET GEAR . I HAD GOTTEN ONE YEARS AGO FROM 3 CC OF GANABOL AND HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. IT WAS THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL. THIS ONE I JUST HAD WAS THE SIZE OF A PING PONG BALL. I WENT IN WITH A STERILE 18 GUAGE NEEDLE AND MADE A HUGE HOLE IN MY ARM AND LET IT DRAIN. IT DID. THANK GOD..USUALLY I NEVER GET THEM BC I CUT ALL GEAR WITH STERILE OIL OR WATER. I DONT RECCOMEND DOING IT BUT I HAVE HAD SO MANY DAMN SISTS THAT I STARTED DOING SURGERY ON MYSELF. ALWYS HAVE BACTINE AND ALCOHOLE AND STERILE EQUIPMENT. YOU WILL KNOW IF YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL BC IT WILL BECOME EXTREMELY HOT. IT WILL GIVE YOU THE SWEATS AND MAY TURN ORANGE OR PURPLE. THEN GO TO EMEGENCY. I SAID I GOT SHOT WITH A NAIL GUN AT WORK. (I WAS A CONTRACTOR) THEY OBVIOUSLY SAW A 250LB JHEAD WALK IN ALL RIPPED WITH A SIST THAT WHEN CUT OPEN LOOKED LIKE 4 CUPS OF OIL. THEY KNEW BUT I DENIED IT THE WHOLE TIME. I DONT WANT THAT ON MY RECORDS..SOMETIMES THE SMALL SISTS GO AWAY IN A WEEK OR SO. THEY DONT GET HOT JUST HARD. I ALWAYS GET IT FROM VET GEAR...GOOD LUCK BRO AND BE SAFE
 
when mine was removed it was not stitched back and left a hell of a scar to this day.
Mine was about 3 or 4" by 2" deep looked like a pussy oin my glute. I still have big scar to prove it.
They had to put a rubber drain in it and let it drain.
It was nuts I could have put 3 fingers in my scar was just raw flesh.
Hurt like hell never did I ever take so many pain meds for 2 months after until it was healing and closed. It has to slowly heal from inside to outside.

Mine also got infected after it was removed and drain was put in.

They never gave me any anti-biotics which I thought was weird.
 
An abcess is a localized collection of pus in any part of the body, caused by an infection.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Abscesses occur when an area of tissue becomes infected and the body is able to "wall off" the infection to keep it from spreading. White blood cells, the body's defense against some types of infection, migrate through the walls of the blood vessels into the area of the infection and collect within the damaged tissue. During this process "pus" forms, which is an accumulation of fluid, living and dead white blood cells, dead tissue, and bacteria or other foreign invaders or materials.

Abscesses can form in almost every part of the body and may be caused by infectious organisms, parasites, and foreign materials. Abscesses in the skin are readily visible and are red, raised, and painful. Abscesses in other areas of the body may not be obvious, but if they involve vital organs they may cause significant damage.

For information about a specific type of abscess see one of the following topics:
amebic liver abscess
anorectal abscess
Bartholin's abscess
brain abscess
epidural abscess
peritonsillar abscess
pyogenic liver abscess
skin abscess
spinal cord abscess
subcutaneous abscess
tooth abscess
Symptoms

See the individual types of abscesses.
Signs and tests

Often, a sample of fluid will be obtained from the abscess. It will be cultured to determine the organism causing the abscess. See the individual types of abscesses.
Treatment

Treatment varies, but often requires antibiotics. See the individual types of abscesses.
Expectations (prognosis)

Most types are treatable. See the individual types of abscesses.
Calling your health care provider

Call your health care provider if you think that you may have any type of abscess.
Prevention

Prevention of abscesses is dependent on the location and cause. For example, good hygiene is important in prevention of skin abscesses. Dental hygiene and routine care will prevent.

I would never recommend self surgery but have heard of people using small guage like an 18ga and under pulling some infection out but I would not try this.

If you do have to go to ER bro tell them you never used aas and it was b-12 or bee sting or spider bite as you don't want this on you insurance record to bite ya later.

Thaxs that was helpful! :) What is the odd's of get one from ug gear???IS human grade 100% abscess free??

chances are better that human gear is cleaner but not 100% odds you won't get infection.
UG you never know as no what ya get, every batch may vary.
 
when I got my mine in my shoulder i just took a sharp knife and cut it open and let it drain. Then I would thak a q-tip 4 times a day and run in there with peroxide so that it would heal for itself. old winny caused mine.
 
mine

I got one on my shoulder as well. It was huge. first one in over 7 years of aas usage. That was a tough one for me. I lost about 20 to 30lbs. I didn't go to the doctor right away. When I did finally go in, they took me to the er right away. doc said if I had not come in I could have lost my arm. It was vet gear, can't remember what I was taking though. I think I was eq. Anyway, They drained 300+ cc's out of my shoulder of pus. They left it open. I had a cut in my shoulder that was about 4 inches long and 3 inches wide. I took 2 months to heal with constant therapy and draining. Plus i had to leave a needle in my arm for the iv antibiotics for over a week. I was a sick boy.
