Lee, clearly you are a very smart guy. Why then would you allow this infection of yours to carry on for at least 5-7 days before going to have it looked at? Had it been treated within the first 72hrs you could have knocked in off quickly and without medical invasion into the body.
You know your body and you know when its infected and when its not-red, swollen, sensitive to the tocuh........
come on dude
-keep it real-
