Hole where scab was!

2018-08-17 16:00:07
I had an ant bite and i pooped it. This left a open wound. It scabbed and i found myself peeling the scab off. Underneath was a small indention. I cleaned and bandaged it. Next day, it was a green/yellow gooey ‘scab.’ it didn’t smell like an infection. I peeled it off and now there’s a bloody small hole in my arm.

Hello. Clean the area and leave it open. Apply an antiseptic ointment. Don't meddle with the wound too much. If there is no improvement in 24 hrs, please consult a doctor near you.
