I had one of these a couple months ago. I didn't know what it was and let it go for so long as I thought it was just a big pimple and it got so large that I could barely walk from the pain. I took vicoden that my grandma had left over and that didn't help with the pain. Most painful thing I ever experienced and when I went to the hospital, I opted for no pain meds for when they cut it open cus I was paying out of pocket and the pain meds were expensive and OMG it hurt so bad when the doctor was squeezing all the puss out. The doc said there was a lot that came out but damn it felt so much better after. I was on 2 types of antibiotics and had to keep the hole open and stuff it daily with packing and that hurt so bad too. I make sure I clean very well down there now.
my sister had one like that too.

I would never wish that on my worst enemy. I can say I've felt what it's like to have a baby lol.

I wouldn't go that far, but I've had one as well. Got it drained once. Then it flared up again maybe a year later. Got it drained a second time. Then I opted for surgery to remove it. All good now.

it's called a cyst. it's fairly common.. look on youtube for people popping cysts.

unlike you all apparently, i can watch it to the end. the girl there did a pretty poor job at cutting it open, and managed to cut too much skin.

if she did it right, it'd be relatively bloodless.

It felt like I had a baby or at least a premature one.

OMG WTF! WHY DID I FUCKING CLICK ON THAT!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

:^D Nom noms...

That kind of thing doesn't really bother me too much. I was watching the first link almost wishing I had something like that for the satisfaction of popping it :^D

My weak spot is surgeries, especially brain surgery. That shit creeps me out :^O

i dont mind zits or cysts, it's abscesses that freak me out. so long as the pus is relatively solid, it's okay. but when it's coming out in quantities measurable on a liquid scale, and it's liquid in consistency, that's just WRONG.

Yuck :^(

I had blisters like that on my feet when I was about 16. I had a fire in my room, and tried putting it out barefooted. The melted carpeting stuck to my feet, and I had some nasty blisters. That was when I got out of karate. I couldn't use my feet for awhile, and I stopped going to the dojo. That was one of my biggest regrets in life.

I'm surprised the tattoos had to be removed. I would have considered them covered, at least with a long sleeved shirt.
