Red splotch near injection site

I've googled this and found a lot of different answers, I was hoping to get some insight/opinions on my situation. I have just started my first ever cycle using test suspension injecting twice a day. My friend who has cycled before told me I could just shoot each delt every day .5 cc each. After doing some research I have since found it's wiser to switch it up and add more spots, but the first two days I used each delt and I have now noticed a red splotch on my left arm NEAR the injection site. Day one of using the left arm went well, when I pulled back there was no blood pulled back with it, second day when pulled back there was some blood so I emptied the syringe and moved over a bit. Later on at work I found it was really sore and when I looked after a couple hours, there was a big red splotch, warm to touch, and firm but no swelling and I have not gotten a fever. The next day from when I noticed it, it doesn't seem as firm and it's not AS sore, but it looks like the redness has stayed the same. I've outlined it with pen and am monitoring it to see if it grows and will go to the doctors if that's the case.. I guess I'm looking for some reassurance that maybe it's not an infection.

Thanks!
 
Sounds like some oil leaked out and went subq. It turns to do that. Next time try and ensure the needle is deep in the muscle belly.

Unless it gets worse over the next week or so it's nothing to worry about. These are quite common.
 
Not ruling out infection yet but this makes feel better, thank you! Also, should I avoid pinning delts until this clears up?

Avoid any site that's inflamed until it's all cleared. You should be waiting a minimum of 7 days to re-use a site anyway, quite likely it will be gone by then.

Infections = spider web veins surrounding the site, much hotter to touch, larger swelling & fever. If you get those then go to the doctor, but don't worry about it you'll be fine. This won't be the last time you get a bit of inflammation.
 
Your first cycle is test suspension.?

Stop this cycle and use test e or cyp.
Crazy. Sorry bro, but test suspension is not a first cycle.

I use 50mg 2 hrs before my workouts.
 
I just had same thing happen on Tuesday red blotch and a egg under skin from a delt injection. It was 1ml prop and took 4 days to get better. It just happens time to time. I agree with lucky Paul get some test e pinn 250mgs every 4 days.
 
If it was serious you d be at the doc or dead. An occasional red spot s no big deal.. a lump is a little more problematic but until ur unable to move a limb....u ll be fine. Test suspension first time....your a glutten for punishment huh ?
 
I had the same thing happen to me in my right delt a while back, the knot was slightly below where I had injected and was warm and red. I didn't develop a fever and I left it alone and kept an eye on it.

It went away after about a week, I haven't pinned delts since then. I now do quads and glutes.
 
So the redness has pretty much cleared up and it's only a TINY bit sore, hardly noticeable.. The other day when I was monitoring it though, I was kinda wondering what exactly "spiderweb veins" look like. When I googled it, it was mostly small red veins that sorta look like they're atop the skin but what had me curious of if this was them or not is, I'm pretty white so you see my veins pretty easily(the big blue ones) I never really paid attention to how they looked until I was monitoring this redness, and I guess you could say they look sorta like a BIG spiderweb deep underneath the skin. So basically wondering what the symptoms of spiderweb veins looks like.
