Human face got boil

[Lanaorana1]

Yes I know impertinent of mere human to post re welfare in TLT, but my face has gone peculiar after Mr C scratched me a couple of weeks ago. Big red spot 1.5 cm wide, looks and hurts like blind boil.

Does anyone think I should see the doc? It was a bugger of a scratch, the little kitten's claw got caught under my nose :) and we both shrieked with vigour.

Reassurance I am being neurotic - sorry, crap week, lost job with no notice , won't be paid at Xmas, just for starters - more than welcome.

That's quite big, presumably you qualify for free prescriptions now?. I'd go.

Infections always easier to deal with when its small.

Definitely GP. Cat scratches can be serious

You may well have cat scratch disease ( yes, it's a real thing), so I would make GP appointment.

I would. Ever heard of cat scratch fever/disease? here

My sympathies how horrible to have lost your job like that hope all improves going in to the new year

thanks, I will trot along and report back. Mr C has just tripped me in the kitchen on the run to steal ham, so he is in rude health at any rate.

Oh, Lana, sorry you're having a rough time. I think seeing the doc's a good idea. I'm sure Monsieur C is sorry, in his own sweet, stabby little way.

I've PMd you.
