I had a wound looked at by a doctor when it first started to show signs of infection, but she said it was fine. An hour and a half ago the scab came off in the shower. So much pus. I have worked with all manner of bodily fluids in a laboratory context, I've cut things out of my own body, drained other people's abscesses, etc and yet I still struggled with it. I thoroughly cleaned it and sprayed it with an antiseptic and Christ it is still stinging an hour later. There is no reason to think it'll refill, but now I'm left with a literal hole in my arm and I can't see another doctor until Thursday.
Two weeks healing time was initially quoted. I'm now at 3.5 weeks and feel like it's just been massively set back. I already heal very slowly due to various chronic health conditions. I could deal with it visually looking awful (it's 100% going to scar) but the pain has been constant. Hopefully now that the pus is out it'll start to properly heal and I'll wake-up with it looking and feeling less angry tomorrow.
