Had 2 month gluteal depot yday. Feels sore and a bit swollen.
I wanna have a hot bath but I don’t want to make inflammation worse…
How long do you guys normally wait until a hot bath or shower?

I get shots in the arms now, but when I used to get the invega shot, I honestly didnt take that into consideration when I took a shower.
But AI says :
AI Overview
Yes, taking a hot bath can make injection-site inflammation and swelling worse during the first 24 to 48 hours
So maybe 48 hours is best?

Yeah I think you’re right. Might try cold shower to reduce inflammation. In the delt I used to get dead arm/shoulder for like a week or so.

When I was on depot there was one golden rule and that was not shower with hot water were I had been injected.
