Subject: MRSA
Content: Okay so here is my gross zit story.  I felt some itching and mild pain on my groin just above my bits(if you know what I mean).  But there was no bump no redness no anything.  I have had MRSA for a while and knew what was coming though, unfortunately at that point all I could do was wait.  I didn't have to wait long. Over the next two days the thing swelled to an enourmous size and became so painful that even pajamas hurt to wear.  I tried for days to pop it myself.  I poked, I stabbed it, I cut it, I soaked in the tub for hours to soften it, did hot compresses.  The thing just refused to pop. At this point it had been about 5 days and I was getting feverish from squeezing it.  The pain and the infection were having a terrible effect on my body, and I knew I needed antibiotics.  So I went to the hospital walk-in clinic.  After waiting for 4 miserable hours to be seen I finally saw a doctor.  She came in took a look at it and of course told me I should have come in sooner.  She left to get some supplies and came back with a kit to take a sample to send to the lab, a scaple, and a ruler.  At this point the size of the bump was 6 inches across 4 inches tall and about 2 inches deep!  She numbed the area, thank you ma'am!  And proceeded to cut.  She had the same results I had and didn't get anything out of it at all.  She gave me an antibiotic, some vicodin and told me to keep doing what I was doing and sent me on my way. The next day while taking a shower I decided to give it a squeeze and OMG!  It just opened up gobs and gobs of yellowish white puss mixed with blood.  I squeezed it for about 15 minutes and got pus out the entire time.  The pain was unbearable at times but I knew I had to keep going.  Eventually I couldn't do anymore.  I continued to soak and do constant hot compresses and squeezed and got as much pus out each time.  Each time my fever would recur for a few hours after.  I did this twice a day for 4 days before there was finally nothing left, the hole was starting to heal and the antibiotics were starting to help. It was painful but each time I squeezed it it was so staisfying to see all that pus.  I do wish I had had a camera to record it.  I've had similar infections before in other areas and have had to treat them the same way but this one was the worst.
