Infection??? Help!

I think a lot of people are afraid of going to the doctor when something like this happens. The fact that you're injecting substances that are usually not coming from a doctor directly opens up a big potential can of worms. It's just like having PCT or adex on hand during cycle. If you expect the worst, you'll probably be safer in the long run. I keep a stock of antibiotics as a first responder when something like this happens. fortunately this is never happened before but I think I've nipped it in the bud by immediately starting amoxicillin.

Good luck with that. The fact that you are using antibiotics and you don't know they work can open a big can of worms, too! Amoxicillin is not the standard of care for an infection like yours. Usually multiple antibiotics are employed, like Keflex and Bactrim DS, due to the rate of microbial resistance to antibiotics. One antibiotic is typically used after culture and sensitivity results have returned with the organism and it's sensitivities.
 
I should have qualified my statement by saying that I also have keflex and ciprofloxacin in addition to amoxicillin.
 
How often are these really infections? In thinking many are a reaction to too much ba,bb, or even the oil. An increasing trend as I see th mg per mls rise.
 
I actually thought this was not an infection and just a reaction as well. I've always used test c, not test e. So thought that minor difference may have cause inflammation. In addition I have never mixed water base HCG in the same syringe as oil-based test. Some members on here say that's fine to do so I gave it a shot. But the redness and heat of the pump let me in the direction of an infection. It is a little better today so I think I'm over the worst part. I took the antibiotics as a precaution rather than waiting for a severe infection to grow if indeed it was.

When I get a reaction it isn't pink or warm to the touch, it just swells a bit. Actually is happening now for a brand which uses apricot oil (which I had never used before).
 
Twice now I have broken out with it escalating into full blown allergic reaction. Itching and swelling all over. Not sure off trigger, only common denominator was one new vial gear. I had more pip this vial compared to others, a nd wondered if over time the BA or BB build up was responsible, or the oil? Too many variable for an easy solution
 
Wanted to give the Antibiotics sometime to work, didn't want to say something cocky and then have the infection come back. So far the Amoxicillin has done its job, no sides of infection and I am healthy and back at the gym. Also scored some test in the locker room, fucking vial cost me $85 but at least I'm able to finish my cycle. I know I should've been more worried about my leg rather then finishing my cycle, but in the 6 weeks I'd been on my gains have been phenomenal, everyone around me is accusing me of taking steroids from all the mass I packed on in just a few short weeks, and its lean too, no water. I'm sure many fella's on this forum would've been upset to if they had been in my shoes.

Infection happened within 2 days and then cleared up within a day? That seems unlikely. Did you take your temp when you thought you had an infection?
 
Infection started 1-2 days after injectiin. Its been 4 days and still swollen and hard. Just the redness started to subside a day or so ago.
