A few days ago—I think it’s been about 20 days since I suffered a minor injury to my hand, arm, and part of my right cheek—I developed an infection in several areas where some thorns had remained embedded in my skin.
Later, I developed an abscess on my face below my ear, and for some reason, these thorns from the palm tree in front of my house—which I had to cut down because of electrical problems where some wires had fallen—were part of the issue. I hadn’t mentioned this before because there were so many people trying to help me repair the roof; I couldn’t just keep adding to the problems I already face in my day-to-day life.
The problem is that this infection got worse—the blister under my ear was growing larger and filling with pus—so I had to make the decision to make an incision on my own.
Using only alcohol and a scalpel, I cut into the lump under my ear a little to drain a disgusting, yellowish fluid that, honestly, smelled pretty foul.
To everyone reading this post, I want to say: please don’t try this kind of thing at home—I only do it as a last resort and in an emergency.
I haven’t been able to take the time to sit down and write decent posts, but I’m still here, sharing my day-to-day life and keeping you updated on how I’m doing.
Man, that's rough you had to do that, but at least you got it done. It reminds me of when I had to stop the bleeding when I chopped the tip of my thumb off and was trying to avoid going to the emergency room.

It was really necessary—I didn't want to talk much about it or go into details. I feel pretty awful and in pain right now; for now, I just have to try to get treatment and that's it—hope the results are favorable.
Thanks a lot, bro.
I'll be praying it all heals up for you with no issues.

Man, that sounds intense! I really hope that infection clears up soon, but please be super careful doing any DIY treatment like that—facial infections can get dangerous quickly. Wishing you a very speedy recovery. Rest up and take care of yourself
Thanks a lot bro.
You are very welcome
