About a sore bump?!
Question: Ok one morning I woke up with a bump on my forehead. I started to itch it, thinking nothing about it. My boyfriend started to put neoposin on it, and cleaned it with alcohol. It got a little better after. Now it's been a few days now, and it seems to have made a red infected area on it. and it starting to itch completly bad, I tried to keep myself from scratching it, but it's getting difficult to do. I've been looking up staph, or spider bites.. and nothing seems to click. Some side effect were the regular diarhea, headaches, and for forth, but I'm not feeling sick, nor having a fever. as the first day that the bump occur my lymph noid where swollen as well. I'm really worried, and scared to death....
Another problem I have is that I have no medical insurance, since I was kicked off of my parents, and im 20. I don't know where to go, with a problem like this. :( But I start getting insurance somtime in Feb... BUT I don't want to wait to see what this is... cause it may get worse.

Do you have any family history of psorasis or dermatitis? This may be something to research. Also, there are anti-itch sprays/lotions available over-the-counter that may help. A staph infection would not normally itch and is very rare for someone at your age.
Pray to God yaar !
Call the public health department and ask about free or low cost doctor clinics. Spider bites and MRSA can look alike. Alcohol is a good idea for a start.
