    1. I thought there'd be pictures :ohwell:
    2. I was going to tell you to high-tail it to the ER
    3. Glad your Doctor is updated with technology
    4. Hope it gets better.

    LoL do you WANT to see the picture?

    I have it but don't know how to add a picture to my post on the forums. If you tell me how I can post it so that maybe people won't be freaking out so much.

    I'm glad you touched base with your Dr. Infections are nothing to fool around with.
    It's ALWAYS best to keep an eye on it and if it's not getting better, or getting worse, go to urgent care or your ER.

    Several years ago I got some road rash from a motorcycle accident and was putting neosporin on it but it got really irritated and I thought it was getting infected. It turns out that the skin was just very sensitive and the neosporin was just too harsh for that new skin.

    Try not to jump to the worst conclusions, but you need to be cautious too. Better safe than sorry - do take care of yourself!

    Well that's the reason my doc put me on an antibiotic...I'm type I diabetic. He wanted to be extra careful.

    get it looked at NOW waiting 24 hours is more than enough time for the infection to enter blood stream
