Infected hair Follicle - WARNING PICTURES GRAPHIC
When I left US last thursday (22nd) I noticed a sore on my upper thigh. I believe & the Dr confirmed, it
was an infected hair follicle inside my leg. By the time I got to see Dr (Monday) it was
way out of control. (I was amazed as to how fast this developed) I was admitted so i could get antibiotics via IV but Wednesday they decided surgery was necessary to avoid tissue damage and
further progression (pus was internal & already started to form a solid
mass), Today I'm doing well but got a hole in my leg about a half inch in
Dia and about an inch deep. It will be left open open to drain & heal from
inside out. I left Hosipital this afternoon (saturday 31st) and get to change bandage once a day and clean it out. I don't have long term tissue damage.
I check back with drs latter next week. I was in good care.
