ada infeksi

my burn is infected.
it is actually pretty gross.
it was fine up until yesterday.
by last night it was emitting heat and hurting pretty bad.
by this morning it was downright sickening to look at.

i got some medicine last night from the apotek.
so this morning i scraped the infected parts off with a knife.
then i cleaned and bandaged it up.

my indonesian friends say to see a doctor.
my white friends say not to.
my indonesian friends say put burn salve on it.
my white friends say just keep it clean with water and let it heal.

who to listen to?
i compromised.
i'm not seeing a dr unless it gets way worse.
but i am taking antibiotics and using a little aloe.
and praying for the best.
