Folliculitis or spider bite?
I think I have folliculitis, or the more common name, an ingrown hair.
It hurts.
It's on the back of my thigh.
I was in a hurry the other day, so instead of using Veet like I normally do, I just did a quickie shave.
I was running late, not feeling well, excuses, excuses, and I always say never again, because I always get an ingrown hair or two if I shave my legs with any kind of razor.
It could be a brand new blade, and I will still get an ingrown hair.
Anyway, I was trying to get a look at it to make sure that's what it is and not a spider bite.
Yes, I said spider bite. They get in your bed down here, and then blammo! You have this huge and painful sore that oozes pus, and in worst case scenarios, you have to go to the hospital and have a chunk of skin removed.
I know, gross, ack, barf, but seriously, I need to get a look at this thing.
I went to get my flashlight and hand-held mirror so I could swing my leg up on the bathroom counter, aim the mirror at the back of my thigh, and shine the flashlight at the mirror, which would make the whole back of my thigh show up nicely in the mirror.
But wouldn't you know it?
Dead freaking battery in the flashlight.
This is one of those big flashlights too, not like I can just throw a few AA's in it and make it work, it takes a brick battery.
What I need around here is a rechargeable flashlight so it's always powered up.
Now I have to get to the store and get a new battery for it, and I still don't know if it's a spider bite or ingrown hair.
Keep your fingers crossed it's just an ingrown hair please?
The very thought of a spider having bit the back of my thigh makes me wanna vomit.
