Retatrutide injection sites: reddish spots persisting 2 months later — anyone else?

It's difficult to say for sure without knowing more about the spots — how big they are, what color, what shape, whether they're raised or flat — or seeing a photo. That said, overall this really sounds like an unlucky personal tendency to develop small overgrown scars where you inject. Possibly something like tiny keloid scars. From your description they seem quite small, no more than 1-2mm; if they were larger, a dermatologist's opinion might be worth getting. Do you tend to get keloid or hypertrophic scars?

Any injection could trigger this kind of reaction, so trying different peptides to solve it may simply produce more of them. If the thighs give you fewer problems, that's likely the best option. Also, what length are the needles, and how deep do you inject? Going a bit deeper into the subcutaneous fat could help, since most of the reactive immune cells sit near the skin. I'm guessing you're using fine needles, something like 30 or 31 gauge, rather than anything huge? With needles that small, ordinary scarring wouldn't normally be visible, perhaps not even under strong magnification, so you're definitely somewhat unlucky to be experiencing this.

Every single time, I end up with keloids. It's crazy. To me, it looks like these might be keloids as well... I do pinch the skin and inject properly.

The needles I use are 8 mm 30G...

I've been mixing and blasting for 9 months now, and I haven't run into any problems.

When you say mix and blast, what exactly are you referring to?
 
If keloid scarring is something you deal with, then that explains it. Your only option is to locate injection spots that produce the least scarring, or where any marks would be hardest to see.

My read on his comment is that he was simply saying "mix and blast"...lol

He was using it as shorthand for the fact that BNLFL has basically never run into pin site trouble across his long stretch of reta injections....

That said, it likely doesn't carry over in a way that fixes what you're dealing with...I hope the rest of the replies here get you sorted out....gl... 👍

I was only passing along something that another member repeats quite often. Recon and filtering are part of my routine, but @Flash-BCR has it right — I've never run into an issue.

Yeah, every so often there's some solid info floating around in here. One time I got a bruise on my stomach from an injection, and it stuck around for about 3 weeks before it finally faded.
