Clitoral abscess...continues!

Thanks to everyone who commented on the last post :)

Okay, I went in for surgery today, even though the abscess had ruptured yesterday. My gyno took one look at it and was like "Okay, we don't need to do surgery." He sent me home with another prescription for antibiotics (now I'm on six pills a day o.0 better work). I'm continuing to take baths in warm water every couple hours, if only to clean the pus and gross, nasty stuff away from the area.

Today, I was supposed to go to training for a job, training which goes on tomorrow as well. I emailed my supervisor, explaining the situation (SURGERY OMG) and asked to be pardoned. I haven't heard back yet, and I'm not sure whether I should go in tomorrow. I'm leaning towards skiving off, since I think I need another day at least to let this heal up happily. What do you girls think?

Also, anyone know how long this thing will drain for? It was approximately 1cm x 1cm, and it ruptured yesterday at about 5:30 pm. It's considerably smaller now (half the size at least), but draining less quickly than it did at first.

Er...that's all for now. Just letting you girls know that I'm not dead from surgery or anything.

if you have antibiotics and its already drained the large part of fluid out, it should be ok from here on out. i had on of those on my thigh a few weeks ago. it was the size of a golf ball and i could barely walk. i had my husband (bless him) perform the lancing. once he got the majority of the crap out of it, it started healing much faster. i was able to walk comfortably within about 32 hours.
i put neosporin on them, i've heard good and bad things about that, but it seems to help me so.. *shrug*

Ehhhh...not so sure about putting Neosporin on my clit...plus even brushing it lightly with a bit of wet tissue hurts like hell, so I think I'll pass on that, haha.

But nice to know that you had a quick recovery ;). How long was it before it healed over?

mmm a week, max.

you told your supervisor about a thingy on your clit?
oh man, you're brave...

i would probably take it off.

No advice here...but I'm glad you're not dead from surgery! ;)

I'm glad you are all right. :o)

Definitely take tomorrow off. You don't want to irritate the area while letting it heal.
