well today seemed like another regular day of work until i started feeling this pain in a rather odd area around my torso, and as i got home i found THIS thing under my shirt



so should i get a bag of ice or what? i don't want this to affect my job and it's starting to worry me...

Ouch. I think I would have it checked out by your family physician. Looks extremely painful.

well as far as healing it goes, my mom told me that i should put antibiotic creme on it. not sure if that's really gonna do anything but i'll give it a try anyway...

That is a nasty wound! It's probably nothing to worry about, though. Just put some ice or cream on it and it'll go away.

You might be reacting to a bite from a bug or spider.

well originally it was a huge boil. i kinda regretted it, but i decided to poke a hole and squeeze the pus out of it. it's gotten much smaller now
