I figured it’s not red and infected, but it hurts. I would go immediately, but it’s from drug use and usually the doctors treat you like shit in that case. I don’t want to go in if it clears up on its own (sometimes they do)

When do I absolutely need to seek treatment?

    I’ll keep that in mind. I always thought there was such thing as a benign abscess, and I’ve had some that have cleared up on their own. Drs will often treat you like shit or second class when they know you are in there for drug use.

    For now I’m just going to keep an eye on it. I have no fever and there are none of the telltale red streaks.
