I have an infection in my thigh from a pin. Does anybody know if Docycycline Hyclate will cure it? I have the Doxycycline so that’s why I’m trying to find out. Thanks!
I’ve ran doxy before… not for a pin infection… but yeah go for it… make sure it doesn’t interact with any medicine you’re teking…I’ve been pinning for 10yrs now and have been lucky so far. I’ve never had anything like this so I’m pretty sure it’s infected. I figured the Doxy would work, but I wanted to ask in case another member ran across the same situation before. Thank!
Well shit, I’ve ran those side by side a few timesI’ve ran doxy before… not for a pin infection… but yeah go for it… make sure it doesn’t interact with any medicine you’re teking…
You can’t take doxy and accutane together cause it increases risk for swelling of the brain and permanent blindness or even death…
So look up any other drugs you’re taking and see if it interferes with the doxy first…
I’d just rather take care of it myselfIs a trip to a doctor not possible for some reason?
Damn bro… you are lucky … next time I don’t recommend that… when I had my doxy called into the pharmacy they told me they are legally not allowed to dispense it to me until I confirmed I wasn’t on accutane..Well shit, I’ve ran those side by side a few times

You clearly have no idea how to do it if you have to ask online.I’d just rather take care of it myself
Most likely one of those. But germs can get into the body many ways. Biting the cheek or tongue, splinter,cut etc. And then float around the body till the body destroys it or it finds a place to land and starts growing. I had a car accident a few years ago and the seat belts grabbed the skin and when my body slide forward a bit it caused a shearing between the skin and muscle and a pocked formed. some germs got in and swelling and infection.Clearly you should get this looked at by a professional.
But I’m curious, are you swabbing your injection site with alcohol before you pin? Are you also swabbing the stopper on the vial?
There was an unsanitary condition that led to your infection. Maybe it was a one off thing and you’re doing everything clean, but you need to address this or it may happen again.
Edit: Maybe the oil?
I swab the jig and the injection site with 91% alcohol and use a different swab for each.Clearly you should get this looked at by a professional.

Good to hear. I keep some antibiotics on hand myself, just in case.Just an update. I cleared out the infection using the Doxycycline Hyclate that I had at home. I took 200mg twice a day and it cleared up.
