this has happened to me before to, i think you need to massage alot after injection and rotate injections

Rotate imjection sites. I use: shoulders, bis, pecs, lats, traps, quads, calves, here are 14 sites. If you inject 2x a week thats 7 weeks between using the same site twice. NO SCAR tissue builds up on me. Plus, take a longer time to inject and use warm gear, I put syringe in a warm glass of water for 10 minutes before I inject.

if it is your skin that is like leather it has nothing to do with rotating injection sites, you need to load up on some anti oxidants and rub coconut oil all over your body and dring a LOT of water! you skin is your bodys largest dexotifing organ! and if it is like leather that is a very bad thing. that would lead me to belive you have some major problems going on inside if they are manifesting themselves on the outside. do the above protocol and it will improve drastically

pin

Are you following the basics and switching the drawing pin with a fresh pin when injecting?

Stay well hydrated and take a good hot shower before injecting. It will soften the skin and and you have the bonus of a cleaner injection site. Some people just have thicker, tougher skin though, especially if you have spent a lot of time in the sun. (ass not included I hope )

Also, what brand of pin are you using? I have found some brands to be sharper, better quality than others which makes for an easier, more comfortable injection
