warm compresses will help. but you still may need to see your dr. as it could be infected.
and he/she can insert a wick to wick off the fluids.
and also give you antibiotics to help treat it.(especialy if you have a low grade fever or pain)

| I've had the werd catheter already and I'm really dreading going back if it gets that bad again. My fam dr gave me antibiotics several times, but to no avail.(last time I had it) Is there any kind of holistic/herbal/OTC meds that I could put on the pore to draw the infection out?? It's in such a crappy place to try to do that, so it would have to be something mild and gentle... |

Ichthammol cream is a drawing salve available by specially asking for it at Walmart pharmacy. It costs about $2 a tube, looks and smells like tar.But is good for drawing out the gunk.
You may have to lance the area lightly with a sterile needle first then apply the salve to help draw it out. Apply sterile gauze too as it is messy.
