If they get too bad, you have to get them packed with gauze. When I was a medic we used to get people with these in the ER all the time and we would have to take this long stringy gause and a sterile swab and pack the wound. They would have to come in for a few days until it is healed, everyday to get new dressings. This was some of the nastiest shit I have ever had to do in my life. Give me a gunshot wound over this nasty crap. As soon as I got rank in the ER I pawned those off to all the new guys/gals that came to the ER. Just down right nasty.
You really should get it looked at though and get on some antibiotics.
