Please don't wait around for an appointment if the pain is bad and antibiotics have not made any difference.

I don't have much pain, but it is still red, and skin peeled. Doctor said use hot compresses, and neurosporin, and continue taking anti-biotics. I will watch it. I am worried, but it doesn't hurt just looks bad.
