Earlier...he was in pain and wouldn't let me touch it....Now...he let's me touch it without crying and seems to be irritated still but not in pain anymore...I have also tried applying ice to the swelling...I will take him to the ER....

If there is puss around it now, it sounds like it's infected. You should take him to see the doctor again or to the ER if you don't want to go back to the same doctor. Just try to keep the area as clean as possible and keep using the Nystatin until then. When the doctor detached the skin it probably caused an infection.

If there is puss around it now, he might need antibiotics - depending on how infected it is. You should take him to see a doctor again just to be sure. Just try to keep the area as clean as possible and keep using the Nystatin until then. The doctor who detached the skin probably caused an infection. Hope this helps!

he was probably hummping the bed or sumthing and it touched the wrong stuff. so maybe antibiotics and call sum kind of doctor person that stays up late. does he say it hurts when u see the puss? maybe thats got sumthing to do with it

Omg you poor thing! Go back to the same doctor and tell her everything that happened after that last visit or try going to the emergency room if its seriously bad!

Put a cage or something around it to stop him from touching or messing around with it.
