LORI762 - noooooo!!!!!! I really hope you don’t have an infection. I am definitely not a medical professional, but if you don’t have a fever or extreme pain then the ER can probably be avoided. I just find the ER such a long, draining and usually dirty experience lol save your strength for healing. 

After my last surgery I had a big abscess that really took me by surprise. 

This is probably a stupid question, but have you tried to clean the area? ..... Gently rinse/Squirt the area with a saline solution syringe (the ones they flush your IV with at the hospital) if you have (or whatever you can do gently). Lightly press around the area to see if puss comes out. If the surrounding area is a deep purple/red it is usually a sign of an underlying infection. I will keep thinking....

Good luck!!!
