I too had the red belly splotches.  I called them "Raspberries".  They didn't really itch and the only side effect I saw from the injection site raspberries was that all my very cool and sexy belly hair fell out around the splotch.  Was the only place I lost hair on treatment, course don't really have any left on the head anyway but that's a different story.  Red marks went away within 3 weeks after last injection and belly hair grew back as well.  Now that I've grossed you ladies out, my work here is done.  Think I'll go shampoo my back....

Aww don't be scared Marcia just be aware!   This is doable and YOU can do!

Meki I use belly a lot also, thighs sometimes.   lol jelly belly!

How are you feeling JD, been thinking about you?   Are the antibiotics working?  You always worry me so much!  

I will call, I think it is just scar tissue,  isn't it amazing how aware you become of your body?  Maybe if I poke it will pop!

I had big red spots that turned into greyish brown blossoms --- I don't know how to explain it - but like a silver dollar ---- but spread out "ish".

Anyhow I only did shots in my belly. (My jelly belly area).

But yeah - they do sooooo go away!!!!

So look forward to about 3 months after TX --- and no more spots!!!
