If it's still there tomorrow I plan to go to the doctor. I hope it's nothing as serious as what you went through though. Thank you very much for the help! :)
Okay so i've come against another problem... the space that i though was a zit turned into a blister that clear liquid comes out of. I am not sure what this means but i showed my parents and they insisted it was a zit. I did not end up visiting the doctor due to circumstances i would rather not share :) please respond if you have an answer. I would greatly appreciate it!
I wish I knew what to say if you're unable to get to a doctor. I know that if you're a minor you don't have full control over when to see the doctor and when not to. Have you got any tea tree oil or other essential oils in the house? Those are great for natural disinfectants and can be used on the skin safely. Dr Bronner's castile soap is great for washing whenever you need a soap with a natural disinfectant in it. You could try something like that to keep the area clean and disinfected.
That's not going to be a full guarantee that there won't still be problems, because a cat can scratch pretty deeply, depending on how forceful they scratch and even if it's intentional or just accidental because their little nails needed a trim. So, you will still need to watch for symptoms over the next few days. It's certainly better than doing nothing.
Sounds consistent with Bartonella, caused by b.henselae, the bacteria that causes cat scratch fever. I have Bartonella and you don't want it. It almost always causes anxiety. It can also cause stomach pain, sore soles in your feet, and red bumps or a striated rash. If you just got infected, a month or two of antibiotics should clear it up. They usually use rifampin or levaquin.
due to the 'scratch' of that lil kitty..
so, if i were YOU, do go to the Dr and watch out for any other symptoms ok...just as a precaution..cause cats do carry some viruses in their claws..
DO TAKE CARE PLEASE..
THANKS
