How Safe Is Doing Anti Bioethics?
I have a sore on my stomach from my insulin pump site (catheter type). For one week it has been a red lump, the size of a quater, with liquid filled in it. It started off with white puss, but then it popped and drained. Now it is clear/bloody fluid and it has drained 3 more times. Do I need anti bioethics? Or can I treat it differently without anti biotics? I hate anti biotics.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it could be infection and it needs to be confirmed as you are diabetic so do not try to treat the condition without proper diagnosis and for that you will have to see the doctor for clinical diagnosis, some time it could be just induration and not infection then in such case it may not in need of any antibiotic, take care of this and see the doctor hope this information helps.
