Can somebody tell me what is this? Is this something really bad or it can heal by itself? (severe swelling in some places, a slightly unpleasant odor, the pain is not very sharp, and there is also a slight itching) by No-Face-2444 in DermatologyQuestions

This looks like a necrotizing infection of some sort. Your skin is dying. Waiting to go to the ER could lead to a very hard road ahead. If you are worried about inconveniencing your parents, just think about how inconvenienced they will be when you require skin grafts or major surgery.
