Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi.I am an intravenous drug user. A few days ago I missed the vien about 3 times in a row with 4 to 8 milligrams of dilaudid. Now the area is very swollen and very tender and turning blackish. Should I put cold packs on the infected area or a heating pad? I will not be going to the doctor anytime soon. I must try and let it heal on its own. Please offer me advise. Thank You, Krisstee
