Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
A more detailed description of the wounds will be needed for us to tell you what it may be.It would have been nice if you told us if the wounds are around the injection site or all over her body.However, if wounds, it means a skin infection.I will recommend anti-septic bathing with cyteal and good body hygiene.You may see the Doctor for evaluation and to judge the need for antibiotics.In the meantime, she may take pain drugs like ibuprofen.
Hope this will help
Wish you well.
