Hmm well i woke up and the red patch went away...
Does that happen?

[nomorepanic]

I guess you googled to get the prognosis?

It has gone away so does it really matter now?

Try and work through this one logically

No if it was cellulitis it wouldn't go overnight it needs treatment so good news no cellulitis no sepsis 🤗 xx

So, there we go Delilah, this thread proves exactly what HA is about. You had a minor and non-concerning symptom, you googled it and came up with something inaccurate and problematic, and then it went within a few hours.....

So, does this not prove that rushing off to assume the worst and spending hours stressing about it, and creating catastrophic scenarios, is pointless. YOu marked this as 'URGENT' - whereas if it was me I would see a red end to my nose and presume a spot, or I'd rubbed it too hard or leaned on it, or whatever.....
