Red marks from injection areas

[Biosblbay]

I have been jabbing mounjaro for 3 months and I have never had this before! Both marks shown are from my most two recent jabs, one was Tuesday evening, the other is still there from the Tuesday before!
I have health anxiety so this has really concerned me. What is this? Is it a concern? Am I doing it too low? Not sure if I would need to consult my GP. I have no idea!
u have stretch marks from having two children, one of which was only born last year so fairly recent, not sure if this is the issue.

I had some slight bruising (which lasted for quite a long time; maybe 10 days?) from a couple of my jabs - I think my second and third ones - and then none since. Nothing bad happened; they faded eventually.

I think you’ll be absolutely fine, but if your MJ provider offers a ‘check-in’ service or has an online chat function, you could ask there just to set your mind at ease.

I've seen people suggest using a slightly longer needle if you are having redness around the site of the jabs. You can buy them at the pharmacy.

Yeah don’t worry it’s completely normal. I get them too sometimes, I also found it was worse if I wiped my skin with the alcohol wipe instead of just the pen. The red marks never hurt or itch or anything. I am currently sporting a massive bruise from this weeks jab, about the size of two 50p coins, I must have hit a blood vessel or something!

You just got unlucky twice in a row. . I sometimes get a mark, can last over a week. It's normal.

I had injection site reactions for a few weeks too. I eventually worked out it was when I changed provider and pen needle brand. I react to BD Viva needles (possibly the lubricant they use).

I changed to another brand of needle and no issues since.

It’s very very normal, it’s called an injection site reaction , anti histamine helps, mine were enormous and raised and so itchy with quite big bruises at times,

it then just tails off and stops, nothing to worry about,

Yes, certain brands of needles can cause a reaction, which is entirely harmless, but annoying. What brand are you using?

I bought a box of 100 needles by CarePoint when I bought my first pen as mine don’t come with any needles. I’ve not had any skin reactions from these needles. Google “carepoint insulin needles 0.23 x 4mm”

Very normal. Nothing to worry about.

I find a few days of sudocream every morning and nights reduces the redness a bit quicker. But also, they go on their own without putting anything on.

I would get a red itchy raised patch every week for 3 months until I let my pen warm up for an hour or so out of the fridge before injecting..never had it again 2 years later now.
