Red mark where the pin went in

[Quatroskin]

Question, just pinned week 6 Reta yesterday and noticed today a red mark where the pin went in? The 5 previous weeks I had no marks at all.
Anyone else ever have this happen or is it good by cruel world?

Help is on the way..... just breathe.

Have you prepared your will, made burial arrangements?

Prolly just ringworm from the endotoxins....kiddin @Quatroskin, should be cleared up in a day or so. If its not painful or getting larger youre likely good. If you get an abscess youll know unless its a sterile abscess. That would be a quarter sized lump that goes away after 2 or 3 weeks.

Had the same thing . Had to get my leg amputated.

Yeah it’s not painful at all and doesn’t even seem to be a bump. Just red.

Don't stress , it looks normal. Perhaps the fact you have shaved the area may have contributed to. Aif you have not done so , wipe with alcohol swap before you pin . I think forgot once and had a mark where the pin was . I know hospitals and medical staff wipe with alcohol swap before a needle.

Cool. Yeah I did just manscape also. Thanks for info

Every third or fourth jab I get a red dot. I use it as a point of reference, to move one way or the other.🤓

Did you use after shave BEFORE you shaved? then pined? or shaved then after shave then you used the pin? you may want to call telahealth , ok that was a joke. I also get red dots form time to time.

I find that allowing the liquid to warm up before injecting helps with my redness. Are you injecting cold?

 

[Vriende]

You can find lots of threads on injection site reactions ISR's here on the forum.
Very frequent.

Another thing , I've found the 34g pen needles much much better. These are literally painless and have less impact on the skin due to the small let diameter. May help

 

[Quatroskin]

Yeah

yeah straight from the fridge. I’ll take your advice and try that next time.

I've read that somewhere, but never tried. I personally haven't had an issue. Knocks on wood.

Let me know how it goes 🙂

Happens sometimes, my last 2 left a bit of bruising as well.

My first 5 pins there was nothing. 6th pin this red mark appeared and itched. It’s still there but very light in color like it’s almost gone. Pinned today and so far no marks at all. How long until it goes away in your experience?

Sometimes it can take a couple weeks but I am 38 so if you are much younger or older your results might vary dramatically.
