there was a long period of time i was actually terrified of shaving my armpits because i ended up with a severely infected abscess that i had to have cut open and drained. well, when something is that swollen and infected, injections for the pain don't work. i felt everything and blacked out.

it was so large i couldn't put my arm down to my side because it hurt. they had to stop and just leave it open so it would drain on its own :<
