Now have a similar boil-like eruption at the hairline near the nape of my neck ... size of a pea with red, swelling, beginning to come to head look to it. I thought it was just a pimple when it started 2-3 days ago .. WRONG!
I am ok -- no fever, etc.,
It would be my assumption that when one of the stitch abscesses along the incision line ruptured last week the germ got transfered by my hands even though I washed them, etc., etc., ? or is this infection along the incision actually moving ? Should I be more concerned than I presently am?
I have prescrip ointment (antibiotic Mycopurin)in the house from my daughter's laceration awhile ago that I've started to use topically along with hot soaks there, now, too ... UGH
What do you think? Of course my Dr. is on call but no need to call ::: quite ::: yet I don't think. Grrrrrrrrr this is frustrating.
Thanks,
Cheryl
