This was Audree's Abcess

When Audree visited a doctor, he gave her antibiotics to stop the infection. But that did not help either. So she decided to go to the hospital again. The inflammation was cut open. Audree was on the verge of septic shock.

Audree's abscess was cut open and cleaned. The surgeon is sure that bacteria have penetrated their hair gums into the skin and caused an infection there. The pathogens probably found the way into the skin through small skin injuries of the glitter.

"I could not believe it at first, I thought I was bitten by a spider, " Audree says. She says today she will no longer wear hair ties around her wrist. Above all, no glitter hair gum, in which bacteria can still settle more easily.
