Skin popping

Skin popping

Skin popping is a method of administration for the use of recreational drugs by injecting or placing the substance or drug under the skin. It can include subcutaneous placement or intradermal placement though is also rarely used to mean intramuscular injection. It is however as a term distinct from the meaning of intravenous use or other methods not through the skin.
