Need expert advice about why im lumping up after pinning

Some people have allergic-type reactions to some carrier oils that may manifest like this.

Agreed. Never had and issue then one day bam. Allergic to one of the ingredients benzl alcohol. Benzyl benzoate..... who knows.
Now I don’t ever touch blends or high concentration gear. Had lumps fist sized for weeks.

It may be the EO that is getting you, almost all gear (pharma gear) has BB and BA in it. Higher concentration oils use EO to dissolve larger amounts but sometimes you find it in lower concentration gear. I can always tell EO because I can taste it in my mouth, on my tongue, within a few seconds of injections, it's very distinctive, it happens so fast it must be neurological.

i'm allergic to EO, used to lump up every time after a T500 injection with EO, it was bad too, the combination of high mg/mL + EO...never again.

all that said, sometimes i do lump up anyway, think its just from years of pinning and scar tissue, sometimes areas i pin need more than a week before i pin them again. wish i wouldve rotated sites more when i was younger, but i was scared of certain areas back when i started, now i'll put a pin just about anywhere.

I had gears that had no issues in the beginning and later same vial started causing pain. I think heating vials in hot water made some of solvents evaporate and made gear chrystalize in my muscle. Also noticed the oils gotten darker later. Gotta be some relation to the pain its been causing later.
