Could The Bump Formed On Skin, After Injecting Heroin In The Area Be A Cause Of Worry?

Hi,

I injected my girlfriend with heroin 2 weeks ago and I missed her vein. She has a bump in the spot I missed and normally I've seen those go away after a day or 2. But after 2 weeks I'm a bit worried for her and feel terrible to make her scared. Do you know why this is still there? It doesn't hurt her and has gotten smaller but still it's there...

Hi,
It is a hematoma or a blood clot.
Do not worry it would go away in a few weeks.
But, these misadventures can be serious specially if you accidentally inject into an artery or a nerve. This can be catastrophic. Please avoid such injections and trust only professionals to do the same. That is my sincere request.
Take care,
Dr Rishi, New Delhi, India.
