Multiple Swollen, Painful Lumps On Arms, No Fever Due To Excessive Shooting Of Heroin And Cocaine. Oral Antibiotics To Cure This?

i have been shooting heroin and cocaine for the past week or so. I was hitting three veins clean, alternating between shots, but many times a day. I start to grow sterile abscesses and continued to shoot, until i went out of control and continued to shoot. Now i have multiple lumps on my arms, swollen, painful, and hot to the touch, so i have an infection. I am not runnning a fever , but would like to know which antibiotic orally that i could take to cure this. I have calmed down with the shooting, but would like to speed the healing process up.

Hi b.maltzman ! You already curse your body . Ok ! I am not here for teaching. Now as we both know your body want to clean this mess. Don't suddenly stop taking it, If you are addicted, Just gradually and fast decrease dose and stop it. About ulcers apply wounds ointments, first clean the wound with antiseptic apply ointment then bandage. If it is not helpful you need to consult dermatologist. If you are not taking for months then stop taking it ask M.D medicine doctor for medicine which can lower your cramp and addiction. Start hobby and sport. Live life and be happy. Bye.
