I was put on injections back in November, and was suggested by Nurse to inject in my tummy. Having suffered with red sore itchy patches after about 12 hours, this lasts for up to 2 or 3 days. So I tried each of my legs, this was even worse. All she can suggest is anti-histamine tablets and Hydrocortison cream. This stops the itching for a while but doesn't seem like a permanant solution. Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
Sometimes I get this on my stomach, I very rarely inject in my stomach due to lipodystrophy. I have no idea what it could be, my thoughts are that maybe I hit a vein or something and it bleeds.
