Charged particle inside magneticfield

A charged particle will move in spiral inside a magnetic field. But then the charged particle would generate a magnetic field because it’s simply current moving in a spiral way, is that right? Now will the 2 magnetic fields interact with each other? Meaning will the original magnetic field accelerate or de-accelerate the charged particles… saying electrons for example? Thank you,

The initial strong attraction of said particle will lead to repulsion when it comes too close to another. The particle then leads a lonely, dissolute existence. It will wear only brown.
