But my logical mind kicked in and I cut a small piece of silicon tube from my coffee machine and inserted a drain. This made the swelling go down and as i recall i had the drain in for a couple of weeks before the bleeding stopped and miraculously I healed with no infection.

I was in a very bad place mentally at the time, I was also very lucky.

The skin to the left and right is much thinner and therefore a better place to cut.

I did the centre to have one incision. Big mistake.
