Skin Popping
Skin popping is a method of administration for the use of drugs by injecting or placing the substance or drug under the skin. It can include subcutaneous placement or intradermal placement — a pinch of skin is lifted and the drug is injected subcutaneously into the tented area . Skin popping increases the duration of the high one gets from drugs such as cocaine. The sites where skin popping with cocaine has been performed have an area of central pallor surrounded by bruising This pattern is due to the vasoconstrictive properties of cocaine acting locally at the injection site with hemorrhage occurring in the surrounding tissue

Re: Skin Popping
That looks much worse than having track marks, I thought people usually injected for a much faster onset (as well as higher bioavailability) but the bioavailability of cocaine is pretty high insufflated (snorted) so who not just do that if you aren't going to IV? I would imagine that the onset and duration wouldn't differ that much and you would avoid all of this damage to the skin on your arms. And another thought, since this damage is due to vasoconstriction from being in contact with the cocaine (which is a local anesthetic and has been used in the past to shrink blood vessels and numb for eye surgery). I wonder what kind of damage there would be from habitual IntraMuscular injection? |
