Lumps at the application area

I've read that people get knots when applying subq sometimes. Just trying to figure out if that's what this is or if it's something I should be freaking out about. I apply subq lower abs. I've got a knot that feels like a soft mass under my skin but I can pull it away from the muscle. It doesn't hurt now and never has. I only have one of these and I've been applying elsewhere and I've not had this happen in any other area. Anyone get these? Is this normal? I've read they go away (if that's what this is) but how long does it take?
 
I always get them when i do my abs brutha. and honestly sometimes they have lasted for a long time, but they arent painful and not realy anything to worry about so i just keep applying it there, as thats the only place i apply it (my abs)
 
Yea, I've gotten them also, but like Presser said, they aren't painful and they eventually go away without any indication they were ever there

They do eventually go away though right? One other thing I forgot to mention. The skin above the knot or lump is a little red. Not irritated or anything but kinda looking like your skin looks when it's a little sunburned.
 
Yea bro, they'll go away, it could be the next day or it could be a week from the time you applied, but it will go away. I don't know exactly what it is, but it's just like a little pocket that forms and it'll dissipate

yes they go away, And try to go into the fattiest part of your belly and go deep with it. This helped with me.

I just applied again and a bit of blood came out. In thinking about it this is the same thing that happened where I got the lump (and happened before when I did the HCG diet). Curious to see if I have another lump in the spot I applied tonight. Good to know this all goes away soon. Thanks for all the replies!
 
best thing I've found to do is to apply it to the "more tender" skin around the obliques

easy in and easy out, also, noticed that the knots go away quicker

only hurts when I'm breaking the skin
 
If it's really bothering you then apply it IM pre w/o. You'll love the crazy pumps you get from it and no more knots!
 
Maybe possible angle of the pin ure using, try a different degree of the pin. Pinch and go straight in with that short of needle.
 
Add more water to the solution so it's not so concentrated and make sure that you are letting it hit room temperature before you apply it...

Those two tend to be overlooked solutions to such a problem that you mentioned.
 
What Wesley said but draw bw into pin first like 10iu then draw up the igf. That way when plunged igf is pushed deeper into area due to extra bw. Don't add bw to mc vial. just pin each time u poke.and btw pin wont be dull due to 2 vial pokes just a little bit

You're supposed to let it get to room temp? I thought it was always supposed to remain refrigerated.

I'll try it but I since I've been applying to mid-abs not a single problem. Have no idea why that might be.

Yes it always remains refrigerated, but prior to your application, you remove it from the fridge and let it sit for a good 5-10 minutes.

Applying something too cold, is a very common reason that pain and a lump exists. The lump many times is the bodies response trying to fight the freezing cold solution you just applied, i.e inflammation :) The swelling in turn, causes pain :)
