I currently have an open oozing sore. This thing has come and gone for (not kidding) seven years now. Even back in the day when I had health insurance and a doctor and all that, he just said all was well and it would clear up on its own since it drains on its own.
The drainage is a problem though, since it's on my inner thigh near my crotch and I believe it is this ooze that's causing my intermittent vaginitis (yeah, gross). I've never had the sore itself cultured, but a gyno cultured my nasty vag infection a few years back and it was simple 'ol staph. There was some goop he gave me that cleared it up (not the sore!) but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called.
Anyway, since the damn thing is open and oozing, I've got a bunch of cotton over it and saran wrap taped over that to prevent the ooze from going anywhere else. I've tried honey, turmeric, and all the regular cleansing agents (soap, alcohol, peroxide, betadine) and nothing has yet worked. It is OPEN though, so any thoughts? Is there something I can pack it with so that it will heal already?! Seriously, there's a hole about the size of a pencil eraser, and I can see all the way down into the whole putrescent mess.
By the way, I'm allergic to penicillin and damn near every other antibiotic, I fucking hate doctors, and I'm not going to one.
