What Causes Lumps On Arms After Injecting Crystal Meth?
I started injecting crystal meth about a month ago. Usually, 9 times out of 10, everything s fine but the past few days I ve been having trouble and keep missing. I have bruises and lumps all over both of my arms that vary in size and pain level from a quarter size to a softball and only hurts to the touch to feeling like a sunburn. Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process? Should I do anything specific to keep from becoming an abscess?

Hi,
There is a strong chance of your developing abscesses if you continue to use crystal meth. It gets excreted through skin and cause boils and ulcers which are prone to develop infection. You are having trouble with injecting probably because your veins are damaged and inflamed. You need to quit so that your body can heal.
Best wishes.
