First off thanks for all the ideas. I am sure some were meant tongue in cheek, however I did try a few of the suggestions anyway with mixed results.
Around midnight I noticed the oozing had stopped, and it felt like things had scabbed over. I had finally settled on some Vicks VapoRub and King Arthur 12% bread flour worked into a manageable paste. The combination had a fiery yet soothing feel. This morning at breakfast I was able to sit through most of it so things are better.
I have been thinking about stopping at the minute clinic later this morning, but now that I have them on the run I'm not sure what they could do anyway.
Sometimes it just helps to discuss things Thank you!
