Suggest Remedy For Swollen Vein After Missing A Shot Of Meth

I missed my vein with a tiny amount of meth when shooting up on one arm, it is not swollen. Missed a even smaller amount on the other and it is slightly swollen but that is it. I also feel some warmth but overall it looks like I pulled the needle out and put it back in too many times. What should I do? This happened yesterday morning

Hi

Unless the area starts to get red and that starts to spread, indicating cellulitis which would need a course of antibiotics, this is probably nothing to worry about
