Friday went to ER, had an ingrown pubic hair. ER doctor lanced and packed it, gave me antibiotics (which I've taken religiously) and pain killers which I have not taken, just minor discomfort and to come back in 2 to 3 days, figured Monday would be good. Packing came out tonight. I feel fine, a lot less discomfort. Called ER. Nurse said if it was a medical emergency to come in, if not, come in the morning. I told her I was asking if it was a medical emergency as I don't know much about this, she merely repeated my choice. How do I know if this is an emergency or not. I'm a 45 yr old female.
