bleeding from groin due to penetrating injury

[BonnieDario]

I was very stupid yesterday I tried to inject myself with heroin in groin area of course it didn't go well , i made out which means i inject around groin after few hours i got fever and high temperature of 38 to 39 all night and all day today is fluctuating up and down. Problem is this morning when I was awaken I discovered blood around groin area and from this morning till now is oozing , just little bit especially if I move and groin is very painfull so i am trying to lie still. I am so embarrassed to seek medical help but if I am told I have to I will. What to do pls? Will this bleeding stop on its own or only with help of doctor? Thank you .

Hi and welcome.  You really need to be seen by a doctor as it sounds like you could have some infection.  Was this a new needle you used?  Do you use heroin often?  Have you tried a warm washcloth to the area?  I hope you will come back and talk with us.  We are here to help~
