HI All!
It's been a while since my last post here, I hope everyone is doing ok!?
I found a pus sore on my leg 5 days ago, I panicked and went into anxiety mode, I applied alcohol wipes to the area, wiped away the pus and put on some antiseptic cream. 5 days later there is no change it. It's sill a small ulcer type open sore on my leg, it's red and sore and I think ... I think, there is a little black line in there which might be an ingrown hair.
It's not getting worse, but it's not getting better, but I"m not leaving it alone either.
I asked the Dr yesterday - they are only doing video consults we are not allowed in and he said put a plaster on it and check it in a week.... haha yeah right!
I can't do that ... I ruminate, I think about it all the time, I can feel it sore, I touch it and clean it and then put a hot pack on it and panic it's sepsis or cellulitis. My anxiety about it is driving me nuts.
Anyone had something similar? Should I go back to the DR and demand an 'in room appointment' - should I leave it alone? What should I do, what do you do?
i've attacked it with a needle, and more alcohol wipes and it's all inflamed and sore, I wish I could see my DR physically, this is really hard for someone with health anxiety huh ..... please help ....... open type ulcer wound on leg not healing, anyone else?!
