Skin Abscesses aka Boil
So i had to rush and make an appt to see my family doctor this morning – and a good thing – because usually when i get a pimple on my groin – it’s goes away quickly but this time after doing my ab workouts and others like aerobics – for the last few days – the growth was not the usual one that I had before. When it started to look red and inflamed i told myself not to fool around and see the doctor really soon. But honestly – who likes to show their groin to the doctor unless absolutely necessary right?
So i had to psyche myself this morning – that I had been in a unsightly position with the doctors here when i had my hysterectomy and having my Missy Moo – so why should i be shy about it right? afterall, it’s not that the doctor hasn’t seen groins before – they see it everyday. Anyhow, it was a good thing I went to see them – because being a diabetic – i need to really be careful – so i got in to see the doctor – albeit a training one at 10.30am and only got out at noon.
So what did they do – they stuck a needle into my skin abscesses and drained the pus out without any anesthetic - yup! you heard right – it wasn’t that bad – but they didn’t really give me anything to clean up or to dry up the blood and all. I’m waiting for the culture to come back before any anti-biotics but i have to say that i feel better just seeing the doctor to make sure i wasn’t gonna lose some piece of my body – hahha!
