Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, self injection in your case isn't recommended and bulb can be due to improperly placed needle or technique related error.
Such may also cause local thrombophlebitis. Local anti inflammatory creams like ibuprofen may be helpful. For itching anti histamines like cetrizine or loratidine can be used.
But self-injection of methamphetamine is a crime in most countries and should only be used for medical purposes by health care provider.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin,
