Just found out that I have this. I have 4 infected bulges on my head. I want to pick them so freaking bad.
I've started wearing a bonnet to try and keep myself from picking. I feel through the bonnet and just confirm that the scabs are there or how big they are, and then I have to force myself to put my hands away. I've managed to leave the big ones alone for 2 days because I gave myself a fever a few times, and because I was genuinely going to lance the bubbles so I could inspect the fluid inside.
This is so difficult. The infection on my head and my incessant picking all over my body spread the infection to my leg and now it's swollen and hot, and I'm avoiding picking it for 2 days now, too, since my fever hit around 102.
I hope I can keep this up. The infection is spreading to my forehead. It's puffy and hot and painful to the touch. I'm so tired of my head hurting.
