how long has it been there? has it gotten smaller? is the site painfull? what type of pain is it? is there reddness around it? if so how long has it been there? is there any drainage? has it gotten bigger or more painfull as time progressed? do you have a fever? def. post some pics....

a little bit of oil always leaks out in my injections...thats normal with ANY IM inj. but only small amounts should come out...you can also use a procedure called Z-track injection which traps the fluid in....you pretty much twist the skin a little where you will be injection and then let go after the needle is pulled out...but i would use a 1.5" because your not pulling the skin taut and therefore there is more tissue to go through before muscle is reached...this is usually done with fluids that are vesicants or fluids that are necrotizing...

I've had those.
Seeing as you don't have a fever, and it isn't getting worse I'd say you're fine.
My big one took about 8 days to go away,..it started the size of a lime.
