What have you used to clean them and keep them dry?

The thing is..it's hard to give you advice here....many of us don't have a medical background...we can't know how they look, where they are, how deep they are, etc.

All we can do is advise you to go to student health at your college, go to a doctor, etc.

If they get badly infected they could make you ill. You may need stitches or steri strips to close the wounds....we just don't know.

Take care of yourself.

When I saw the doctor about my SI, he said he couldn't stitch it because it already started to heal. He had the nurse clean out the wound and put neosporin cream on it. I had to keep the wound clean and dry. The doctor also gave me antibiotics to prevent the infection from spreading.

I also once had to go to the ER to have a cyst removed. It was deep. I had to keep the wound packed with gauze so the wound could heal from the inside instead of closing causing an infection.

I don't remember anyone telling you to NOT tell your T. I think you should tell your T. I also think you really need to see a doctor. And you should tell your mom. You probably won't take that advice, but it's sounds like you really need extra help right now.
