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?
An abscess is a medical emergency. If it breaks into your blood supply you could go septic. Don’t leave this to chance. Hit up a primary care provider and get the abx. You don’t wanna be on the worst case scenario end of this.
Edit: holy shit it’s from an IV? Don’t sit on this man
