What Is The Solution If I Had A Painful Carbunkle On The Perineum Considering That I Am Diabetic With Stress?

Yes, I have a carbunkle on my perineum. Have had it for 2 days and it is about the size on a walnut. Very painful. I am very clean and not diabetic but my immune system is terribly taxed. Recently moved, had a heat attack and just lots of stress. What can i do?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might behaving ingrown hair follicle infection and now it is likely forming abscess.
Go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course for 5 days.
If pus is formed then you may require incision and pus drainage.
consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
