I just want to clarify I am NOT asking for any sort of diagnosis or serious medical advice, just want to know if I should be more worried than I am. I am no stranger to an infection as a picker but this one looks particularly gross. I typically just use hydrocolloids to draw out the infection and wash every day but If I should seek further medical attention I am unsure, and I don’t have the money to go to the doctor just to find out I was worrying too much.

Edit: for more context, I’ve gone through 2 hydrocolloid patches in the past 9 hours
