So I got a spider bite on my leg about a week or so ago, didn't think too much it it cause I always get bit by bugs living in the area that I am in. Fast forward about 5 days and its swollen to about the size of my fist and oozing puss and blood. 
So I go into the doctors and the first thing he did was grab ahold of the area and squeezed, and squeezed HARD!!! Finally they injected me with lidocaine and epinephrine so the first couple layers were numbed out. But trust me, that wasn't enough. I was screaming and crying while the doctor proceeded to cut into me about an inch and a half push all the gunk out of the abcess. And then stuffed about 8 inches of medical guaze into my leg, wrapped it up and told me to come back in two days so they can do it again. Oh joy.
Any gross infection stories anyone have?

I had the antibiotic resistant form, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), grow on my ass. I thought it was just a bug bite at first, and even when it swelled a bit I didn't think much of it. Then it got really painful, to the point I couldn't sit down or even walk comfortably. I went to the medical facility at my University and was promptly de-pantsed and got a nice numbing shot right into the heart of that pussy lump. Then they cut it open to drain the puss, just like yours. I got to see how much came oozing out, was fucking disgusting.
Took me quite a while to get rid of the infection completely. It kept coming back. I eventually went to a specialist who gave me a special wash to use for a week to ensure any staph remaining on my body was toast. I agree that staph infections suck.

I have a friend that some how inquired a staph infection that has never been seen in the US before. She has had multiple transfusions and isn't doing well. I'm not sure what it's called but it's a nasty nasty infection.
MRSA is pretty gross too and theres only really on antibiotic that can combat that which is now being over used and in the near future may build a resistance. Keep your health up and try to avoid getting infections in cuts by applying some sort of antibacterial.
