Starting Forteo/teriparatide

I started taking the teriparatide injections a month ago, all is well so far. I do it in the morning when I take vitamins and other medications.
This morning I had a red ring around the injection site. This was a first and I’m wondering if this is something I should be concerned about?

I often have bruising from my teriparatide injection or a red ring around the injection side. This usually fades in a day.

It also stings when I inject whereas Tymlos did not.

It does make it easier to rotate the injection sites because I can clearly see where I injected the previous day.

It happened to me occasionally. I don't think it's a issue.
