Somatropin Reaction, What to do!!!

[thommo83]

I'm 37 and started Novatis-Bio somatropin 2iu ED for 9 days
The first 5 days injecting into stomach left little red marks that went away after 3 days and was OK
After day five these red 20cent marks started turning into 50 cent red, swollen itchy lumps.
i thought it might of been a contaminated shot so used another bottle in which it did the same.
im thinking this must be a skin reaction and not an allergic reaction as Ive read on blogs.....

My question is can i push past this swollen stage? does my body get us to it??
Ive stopped ATM after 9 days on,
So it was ok for 5 days, maybe 5 days on 2 days of???
Do i have to wait for these lumps to dissapered before i start again or just move a little bit away from existing sight??

can anyone shed some light on this issue!!!!!

Your reaction is likely a skin sensitivity rather than an allergy. Rotate injection sites, use proper technique, and ensure the area is clean. You might try a "5 days on, 2 days off" schedule and wait for lumps to resolve before restarting. Antihistamines or hydrocortisone cream can help with itching and swelling. If issues persist, consult a doctor to review the formulation or injection method. Avoid pushing through severe reactions.

Your reaction is likely skin sensitivity, not an allergy. Rotate injection sites, keep the area clean, and let lumps heal before continuing. A 5 days on, 2 off schedule should help. and yes, hydrocortisone cream can ease swelling and itching like Milton said. Don’t ignore severe reactions.
