I'm a foreigner currently on vacation in Japan now but recently I accidentally popped a boil which formed from a pimple on my waistline/stomach area, now it's been about 6 days since and the scarred area has become reddish abit yellowish and increased by a few noticeable millimeters in size. I have my insurance card on me, and have checked out some small medicine shops , but they didn't have much to sell me as opposed to American pharmacies. It's hard to find even gauzes.alcohol swabs here.
There's a hospital near my area, but considering how medical treatment is like in Japan, should I really go for it? In a week a family member is bringing over antibiotics for my scar infection but should I really wait when the infection is spreading little by little?
I've tried using this 'Sania Clean' Spray Type minor scratches (like shaving) mild general use antibiotic spray but this was 5 days after the infection started, I didn't notice much of an effect, so I'm assuming it's something to be used for mainly on the moment injuries.
There's also a continuous pain, suggestions? Also, Where can I buy basic medical supplies (first aid box for example) ??
