Part 1. Identifying Early Symptoms. 1. Look for breaks in the skin. MRSA infections are common where there are cuts or wounds in the skin. Look close to hair follicles. It is also common in hairy areas of the skin, such as the beard area, back of the neck, armpit, groin, legs, scalp, or buttocks. 2. Watch for bumps, reddened, or inflamed skin.
Symptoms and signs of dry socket include severe pain following tooth extraction, gray-colored tissue around the site of extraction, or lack of a blood clot at the site of extraction. Dry socket symptoms generally occur within a few days of tooth extraction and are usually limited to the oral cavity. Oral symptoms of dry socket may come and go or may be continuous. These symptoms include: Bad breath or foul odor in the mouth. Bleeding from the site of extraction. Bone visible inside the site of extraction. Dental abscess. Gray or dead-looking tissue surrounding the extraction site. Pain at the extraction site.
Dry Socket. Dry socket is a painful inflammation that can develop in the open tooth socket of the jawbone after a tooth has been removed (extracted). Dry sockets often develop after an extraction and are more common after extraction of third molars (wisdom teeth). Dry socket develops when the blood clot at the site of surgery disintegrates or is dislodged. This condition can cause severe pain extending up to the ear. The socket may smell bad.
