Ugh- this knife-
Tuesday- October 17th -and the hard spot on the back of my head is throbbing throughout work, maintaining a constant irritation and pain level.
I'm trying the things....

Caffeine
Call the doctor (booked out for 2 wks)
Ask my friends to cut it off
Go to work and have the pediatrician take a look between my clients-
Vent to my people
Call my other medical friends (including nurses and neurosurgeons who jokingly tell me it's a spider bite - thanks Ya-sin- still waiting on my Louis V scarf🫠)
Popped into my local urgent care.
The Result- The Nurse Practitioner says it's
"flesh colored, hard, no sign of infection or a head."
Essentially letting the next Joe who sees me know- that it doesn't look like an (ingrown hair, pimple, foreign object, irritation mark, infection, etc)"
Rx- 5 days of prednisone/steroids, 1 round of doxycycline/antibiotics, and a suggestion to follow up with a dermatologist because head bumps are typically benign and considered cosmetic removals. 🙃🥴
