Been there, had that...be sure to keep your infected area clean and COVERED. Sanitize everything...I mean everything!! The first time I got my infection, I let it go way too long and I developed puss lumps...pebbles size harden puss.
I have never felt such pain until I let it go on too long, and still haven't...thinking about it makes me hurt all over again. I'll post pictures of my infection if anybody request it.
