What Causes Huge, Growing Lump On Arm After Injecting Meth?

My friend injected meth into his upper arm and a huge lump formed directly above it and is still growing. It is not red or hot to touch and he doesn t have fever. However his entire arm is in extreme pain especially the growing mass. What happened? I don t think it s an abscess not where it s located and no symptoms of that

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Sometime due to injection, local hematome develop. There is nothing to worry about it. It would decrease with time. You can try thrombophob in case it persists for longer period. If you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
