I was trying on vintage clothes 3/17/05 and felt a prick but didn't think anything of it, till the next morning. 1st pic is day 1 the next pic is day 12.
Update 4/19/05: It's been over a month and it doesn't look like it's gotten much better. I never had to have it scrapped or anything, and now I'm thinking maybe I should have. I have an uncle that is some sort of herbal doctor and he told me to put oregano oil on it. It did that for a while and it seemed to be getting a little smaller (healing around the edges), but then after about 2 weeks using that I saw my real doctor. He told me to stop using the oil and to use the cream he gave me. I can't remember the name (I'll update soon). It hurts more from that cream and looks different (the black hard part has turned a little yellowish white and it's a little softer with puss like stuff on the bandage - never had anything on the bandage while using the oil) so I'm confused and have no idea what to do now. :P
Update: 4/25/05. I went back to using the oregano oil. It doesn't seem to hurt as much while using that. I'll post a new pic soon.

Is this ever going to heal???

Update 6/13/05: I had the dead skin scrapped out. I stoped using the oregano oil and went back to using the bacetracine. (not sure of spelling). DAY AND NIGHT. The doctor didn't want it to scab over. It's finally filled in all the way 4 days ago (it took 4 months) and I have a lovely little scar. I'll post a pic soon.
