Answers:
It probably didn't do anything (besides hurt)!. Rubbing alcohol contains isopropyl alcohol, which is no more toxic than ethanol (though it tastes worse)!. Alcohols can help disinfect surfaces!. Injected into soft tissue, it probably wouldn't achieve the same effect because the alcohol wouldn't completely penetrate through the tissue to the bacteria or viruses!. You should watch the area carefully, though, in case the local redness from the pump site becomes infected!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This could be a very bad idea!. Please don't try to treat yourself like this, it could have very bad consequences!. Since you are diabetic and the wound seems infected, I would definately recommend that you see your doctor!. You don't want to develop gangrene!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

15 units seems a bit much!.

When I was a teenager with pimples, hypos worked great for popping zits, sucking out the puss, and then injecting a little isopropyl alcohol!.

Zits could be cleared up almost instantly using my method!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A red circle may indicate Lyme disease!.
have your doctor check you out!.
