Question : When someone misses there vein injecting crystal meth what do you do to help the lump go away more quickly and safely?
Brief Answer:
Depends on how large is the lump
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The treatment depends on how large is the lump and the reaction of the crystal meth to the skin. IF the skin reacts and causes bruising then you have to wait it out. Most often small lumps disappear on their own. They do not need any intervention.
Hope this helps.
