My Friend Was Shooting Up Meth A Minute Ago &

My friend was shooting up meth a minute ago & everything was going fine , well she started to get real shaky & the needle must've slipped out her vein cause when she went to push down , she noticed a burn so she stopped immediately & re registered , she got back in the vein & finished up her shot & kept constantly pulling the plunger back to make sure she hadn't slipped out again since she was still real super shaky . She finished her shot , removed the needle , got a warm rag & applied it to the injection site , as she always does after she shoots up . Around the injection site is now only a little red (which could very well be from the needle itself ) & when she touches it , it's only a little warm . There's no bumps or lumps yet either . She's wondering if she should be worried about that little bit that possibly missed ? It was only a drop or two as she was pushing real super slow & had stopped right after feeling it burn a little . Did she miss enough to cause an abscess to form or anything ? Is there anything she can do now to help prevent it from possibly getting bad within the next few days ? Should she be worried about the drop or two being missed or is that not enough to cause any serious effect ? Advice please !
Thanks in advance .
