Nice place for a scar, should make it easier to show off the genitals to cute girls...

Spoolin;1551648 said:So is that picture before or after the surgery?
airhead04;1551710 said:What is that IJ? I looked it up, but got no results....
Supracentral;1551726 said:Honestly sounds like when you tried to pop it, you ruptured it internally rather than at the skin. Infections spread rapidly when they have no place to go.
Supracentral;1551747 said:It's Kaltostat, and yes, it's a fibrous wound packing that contains sodium and calcium salts. It's really built to draw out exudate from a wound and store it in the fiber/gel.
SupraMario;1551659 said:LOL do it Jay, it's not that bad. Just weird.
aww hell, I'll do it for you.

Who;1551762 said:You really don't want to squeeze or compress a boil or any other encapsulated infection. Like SC said you most likely ruptured that boil and spread the infection inward. Did your Dr tell you to take the antibiotics and use warm Epsom salt compresses on the boil? No.....! Probably not, give the pt a pill and send them on there way. The warm compresses of Epsom salt would of drawn out the infection to a head and it would of just oozed out lake toothpaste. Been there done that.
fixitman04;1551766 said:wasnt saying it was a bite, just that it looked like one.
if it were a bite it would not have improved with antibiotics. although it would not even show for a few days if it was. i didn't know i had been bitten till i was in the shower a few days later, i had a itch that woulden't stop on my ass, so i scratched it... and it popped! i had a abscess the size of a quarter by time the doc stopped cutting. i now have a crater where it was about 1/2" deep.
packing the wound......fun times!anic:
