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.
Pain that persists past 48 hours is an indicator of a dry socket. Mayo Clinic describes the dry socket as a condition where the blood clot that normally forms after an extraction dislodges, exposing bone and nerves.
