Injection Site Reactions - where?!

So, I got my first peptide online before I knew about this place. I did the first two shots in my thighs, switching legs each time. No issues. But this week, same stuff, I put it in my stomach and got a reaction. Has anyone else had reactions that only happen in certain spots?
 
I haven't encountered that personally, but I've seen others online mention location-specific injection site reactions (ISRs). Some also report them starting randomly after weeks or months on the medication. The usual advice seems to be a topical antihistamine after each injection if they become frequent.
 
Mine started when I went up on the dose and lasts a couple days, maybe three. Cortisone cream helps me. I also tried mixing in BPC-157 in the same syringe, watering down my peptide, and spraying Flonase, but none of that helped.
 
Yep, it's everywhere now. It's the worst when I inject in my arms since the itching on the back of my arm is so annoying, so I don't do that anymore.
 
My ISR started around week 13, and it happened every week after that regardless of where I injected. By week 17, the rash was smaller and faded faster. Flonase didn't help the itch at all, but Cortizone-10 cream gave me a little relief. This started on week 2 of 7.5mg. It didn't matter if it was brand name or another source. 🤷‍♀️
 
I had a terrible ISR to NAD+, and some others reported the same. Now I react to everything. I bought a cheap "compare to Benadryl" spray from Dollar General, spray the area after using alcohol, and it has helped a lot.
 
I did my shot today on the other side of my stomach and no ISR! The only thing I did differently was let the vial sit out for almost an hour before injecting. Last week I injected it cold. 🤷🏻‍♀️
 
Using Allegra and hydrocortisone seems to be helping a lot so far. I'll keep an eye on it for the next few days.
 
I've been injecting for nearly two years and just got my first ISRs a few weeks ago. I always injected in my stomach, but someone said thighs are better. Huge mistake for me! My thigh was the worst! I injected BPC a few days later because it was still angry and getting worse. It worked great. It was much better, but not gone the next day. I now use BPC every time I inject.

I'm also mixing GHK-cu with BPC for daily shots, and even with the BPC, I'm getting a reaction. It's not as bad, thankfully. I'm going to inject in my glutes tonight; hopefully, that goes better.
 
I'm starting to think it's my BAC water. I've used the same bottle I got when I first ordered. Now, every shot, no matter where, I get a reaction. I ordered some different water. Hoping that fixes it.
