when I do my shot, why do I bleed from multiple areas on my thigh?

[owls]

The last few times I've done my shot, I noticed that when I withdraw the needle from my thigh, I am bleeding a few centimeters from my original injection area as if I injected myself again. Two weeks ago there was 3 spots that was bleeding, and today when I did my shot there was 2. I'm not understanding why this is happening and its really weird. Has this happened to anyone and is there an explanation?

There isn't a lot of blood, just a speck like my actual injection site.

EDIT: I aspirate when I inject so I know that I didn't inject in a vein (not sure if it could relate but I wanted to add just to be sure it came up)

Do you watch when you withdraw the needle? Be careful to not accidentally drag the needle tip across your skin at all. It's so sharp you won't feel it but it'll break the skin enough for you to bleed in little spots. I've done it a few times myself.

No i'm very careful with the syringe, I'm not sure whats going on but this isn't something that has happened!

If you're putting it in just under the skin somehow, you could be pushing it through your pores, but I think it's more likely you're dragging the needle. However, it's also possible that those are blood dots from the wound itself. When the blood mixes with the oil, it can look like beads of blood coming through your skin when it's really just sitting on it. I have a picture of this "phenomenon" that I can upload later. Are you certain it was coming out of your skin? Did you check?
