I have never done this before, but I have never been so desperate.

A couple days ago I made the foolish mistake of skateboarding with no shoes or protection and of course I fell. I ended up getting the expected bloody scrapes on my elbows, knee, and also a scrape on top of my right foot.

Well I disinfected with 91% iso alcohol yet the foot has become infected and I can't walk on it! I had to miss the reviews for my finals because I couldn't walk to class. Luckily students gave me notes to help.

I want medical help for my foot because I can't sleep due to the pain. I know it sounds pathetic, trust me I feel pathetic, but this scrape hurts more than any bone I have broken. Picture below.

I also am a supporter of Ron Paul, and want to be involved with politics. I want to help in Iowa, expenses are covered except transportation. I have 3 bucks to last me until new years when I get a job.

Since you are a student, you can receive free basic medical care at your university's health unit. However, if you feel uncomfortable going there, you should go to the local ER in which you can make monthly payments on the bill.

Go to the emergency department of the nearest hospital. They will treat you.
PS: Help me understand what being a supporter of Ron Paul has to do with an infected foot.

If you have an infection, go to the nearest emergency room like all the illegals do. They cannot refuse to treat you. You can be billed and pay them back at your earliest convenience! For heaven's sake!

There are no doctors in your state? No basic first aid at your school? I don't mean to sound like I don't believe you, I'm just saying there ought to be immediate resources that can help you.
