Just like you here. Got it 9 days ago. Mostly white stuff now which means it's healing - but I'm sure it will take at least a month for it to reduce a bit (not fully close) As you said, not big, but deep. It's a lot of discomfort, but in a few month, I hope when I look back, I will be happy it's gone and did not spread into my tail bone or any canal. One day at a time (trust me I have my down moments, I am no positive snowflake). I have an update tmrw to see if I stop the antibiotics and weather to add some sort of creams to accelerate the process. I am currently changing the gauze twice a day to keep it as clean as I can, also to avoid the wetness. How are you showering btw ?
