How do you rotate peptide injection sites?

Treat each of the four areas for shots under the skin as its own zone: the belly at least two inches from the belly button, the outer thigh, the back of the upper arm, and the upper outer buttock. Move through a zone in order instead of picking a random spot. Keep each new shot at least one inch from the last one in that zone. Skip skin that is bruised, hard, red, broken, or has a stretch mark or scar over it. This is the rotation plan from research on insulin shots, not a dose or a protocol.

Part of injecting: sites, needles and safety. Subcutaneous vs intramuscular, site rotation, lipohypertrophy, needle length and gauge, vial hygiene at injection time, travel syringes, scar tissue, and when to stop and see a clinician. Full walkthrough at /injecting.
