Abscess

Abscess : Localised collection of pus in any part of the body. Tender, easily pressed mass generally surrounded by a coloured area from pink to deep red.

Me had this abscess growing near my pubic area 1mth ago... consulted my co doctor and took antibiotics + painkillers. It subsided and disappeared in a week's time.

Now, it's back again. Larger, redder and more painful... ard same area, but slightly further away from the pubic area, this time near my thigh. It was super painful since Thurs.... terrible... each time I walked, lifted my left leg, sit, lie down or even twitch abit, it hurts!

Had no choice but to go see my family doctor this morn. He, being a dermatologist, immediately got me to change into a sarong upon hearing I got an abscess. Injected anesthetic and started to poke the growth with some "sharp" thingy to drain out the pus. Felt instant pain but subsided when the anesthetic start working on the area. Was given antibiotics and some cream to apply.

When I reached home, the pain became unbearing.... the anesthetic probably wear off ler... pain like hell lor... couldn't even move at all. Lie in bed whole afternoon and could only limp to bathroom...

Now not so bad leh... just pray that it won't come back again... *sigh*
