How do you treat abcess on arms?

Looked at pic. Too hard to diagnose based off pic alone. My first glance at all pic gives me an idea of boil or staphylococcus epidermis,, since you say it isn't sore. How is it today?
unless things have changed for the worse I don't think this is an abscess.

Google "abscess signs and symptoms"
I thought I had one on my tricep turns out it was prolonged pip. for some reason my left tricep the pip lasted 4-5 days compared to my right which was just 2.
From the pics it looks like a boil, not an abscess. Clean the site really well with an Alcohol pad, take a new sterile syringe, pin the site an draw on it. If fluid flows into the syringe freely it's an abcess.
Honestly though bro, if you can't tell the diff between a boil and an abscess, you better get your ass to the doc. Pronto. No need of dying on us bro.
Update: after looking at your pics, I think it would be smart to not let any of us try to diagnose what that is. The pics are shitty. Looks like you took the pics through either a coke bottle or Monster666's camera. Get to the doc bro. I'd hate to hear of you dying.
RustyhookerIt's not at the injection site? Squishy? Hot? Pictures not very clear but looks near top of brachialus.
Marcel1229It's not squishy, it's pretty dense and it's not hot, and it's near the triceps area, and I pinned in the delts
RustyhookerI agree with ED up above. Looks like a monster zit but without a med exam.....be safe. Antibiotics typically don't effect cycles of hormones.
Is this from an injection site? If so, how long ago did you inject there?
Marcel1229And I pin in the delts 2 times a week, and sometimes the ass
RustyhookerYou need 6 points of injection or risk cellulitis
Excellent point.
Marcel1229no it's not on the injection site....look

If it's not an injection site as you say, it probably not a bacterial abcess. Most likely a clogged gland. Use a heating pad and it should come to a head. If it does get hot and the redness spreads, then get to the doc or ER ASAP.
Marcel1229HERE'S THE PIC OF IT...TELL ME WHAT Y'ALL THINK, I'm not that sure

abscess is a serious bacteria infection.
left untreated you WILL lose your arm
very unlikely it will go away from heating pad
go to doc!
Marcel1229Look at it, is this a abscess or bruise? Probably a missed shot

There is nothing to do to stop it without antibiotics...go to the doc ASAP or you are goin I end up much worse than you are...ie open drain and out for weeks
Bro buckle down and go get some antibiotics from the Dr . That is the only thing that I know to help until it forms then you can drain it yourself but you still going to need antibiotics for that as well.
Marcel1229Will it ever go away? I'm trying to treat it by putting heat pad on it
Not on it's own all the heating pad is going to do is keep bringing it to the surface like a zit.but this is not something that you can squeeze and pop. An absess you will have to stick an 18g needle in with syringe n draw out the infection by hand. If you mash it like a zit you can actually push the infection into your blood stream, be the worst pain ever could even cause loss of limb worse case. If it enters your blood stream that means that it can and will travel anywhere in your body you will be hospitalized. This maybe stopped in it's tracks right now with a shot of antibiotics and a prescription of Kelptic pills. Those are a very strong antibiotic given only for bacteria infection. The Dr will not call the cops on you for this dude just go on in b4 it gets any worse and try to stop it.
Anonx2 thats exactly where my ass would be. Claiming to have injected some b12 or something?
It sucks having to deal with shit like that. I'm dealing with a bit of gyno for the first time ever and I am so fed up with it.
