Well, that's the second time this year I've had to go on antibiotics. (I like antibiotics. Let it be known to all crunchy all-natural granola people out there that there's only so much tea tree oil and garlic is going to do for you.) Apparently, I got MRSA in my cheek. I'd've preferred it to be anywhere but my face, but I guess I don't get to pick and choose. :/ Dunno where I picked it up, though. Nothing ever happened all the times I've worked with MRSA-infected wounds, and then I just happen to somehow get it ON MY FACE when I haven't done any wound care in months.
I was also told that if worse comes to worst, they'd be able to drain it with needles.
I think that would be so cool! I'd like to watch and wonder if they'd set up a mirror so I can. :DDD And using needles would cause a lot less scaring than a scalpel. DDD:
I also can't cover the darn thing with makeup, so I'm kind of embarrassed to be seen out in public.
In all honesty, I probably would've ignored it if the infection was located anywhere else and it never got larger than the nickel-size that it is, but this thing is located so high up on my cheek that it presses against the lower edge of my eye. And it's kinda blocking some of my vision. So, yeah, makeup probably wouldn't hide it at all, but it wouldn't like so flaming red.
Eh. I'll just tell people that I was bitten by a spider if they ask. :/
