Been there, popped them. The treatment for these ones that get out of control is to incise them and let them drain (incision and drainage, or I&D.) Then it gets packed with gauze (changed daily,) and allowed to heal from the inside out.

Done enough of these in the ER.

Puss and puke are the two things that kept me out of the medical profession.

xtra s?

The big ones are painful. And bright red. The instant you relieve the pressure from under the skin, the red litterally fades away in seconds. Always impresses the 3rd year students. The most painful thing is not the incision, it is the taking down of loculations (or little pockets that form as the infection migrates beyond the hair follicle.) If you don't, the infection does not go away.

I used to hang out with a guy named Rob who was FILTHY and didn't take care of himself like he should have. He gets bit by a Brown Recluse, this was in Hazel Park, and he doesn't go in for treatment. The thing was on his forearm and it got to be HUGE, like the size of a huge pussing golfball under his skin, and pussing over the surface of his skin, it was GROSS. One day he's walking into the kitchen and hits his arm on the door jam, the thing pops and goes SPLAT all over the the place. He should be grateful that happened because many people lose limbs due to these types of bites.

I used to work at a state park where a guy got bit by one of those. He almost lost his arm, was in ICU for like two weeks. I saw the wound, it was rather...interesting.
