I had one on the small of my back for about 2 years. A few months ago, it became infected and hurt a lot.

My wife started to pop it, and that hurt even worse (more than when I had an infected gall bladder). I went to the doctor, but he couldn't operate while it was inflamed. He said just have the wife finish the job. It took about 3 days for her to get it out, but the cyst has been gone since then. I'm hoping it doesn't come back. *crosses fingers*

That's something I would try with Skoorb until he would end up howling like a baby and cursing me for about a week! :D

Skoorb = owned. BTW, speaking of babies, how far along are you?

I've got two little ones very close to my spine on th back of my neck, stupid doctors said it would cost 5G's to get them removed because insurance would claim it to be cosmetic. (you can't see even the dasm things, I just don't like having them this frickin close to my spine) if you have discoloration it's likely something else go see a real doctor.

i have one on the back of my neck. the doc said it could be removed with an outpatient procedure but that it really wasn't harmful at all so we just left it.

Oh, there was a lot of howling, gritting of teeth, and squeezing of objects.
