Inside my belly button is very very red and swollen. I went to see a doctor who said it's either an irritation or an infection so has given me some hydrocortisone cream and a course of antibiotics. I'm now terrified.
Firstly the antibiotics are scaring me, I am a medication phobe and worry that they will interact with my other meds even though the doctor says they won't.
Secondly the infection itself scares me. I worry that it'll burrow into my abdomen, that it'll turn into necrotising fasciitis and kill me, I worry that it won't clear up or it'll give me septicaemia.
Just what I needed a new worry to add to my gamut of others, it feels like my body is falling apart.
