I actually called my doctor's office today, she's on vacation of course!

So I called Telecare, and asked the nurse if it would be OK to try and get this thing to drain naturally. I do not have fever with it, but it looks like a volcano, minus the head, about to erupt!

They said definitely fine, hot compresses 3 times daily for 20 minutes. I can handle that. Good thing I'm not heat intolerant when it comes to that stuff.
