Lump on my back

[TallBill]

I thought I had a big zit on my back, but after a few days it's sore to touch and nearly quarter sized. I guess I'll swing by the doc at school tomorrow and have em check it. Yey.

Boil? Cyst? Let us know what it was. Pictures if possible!

 

[surfsatwerk]

Lance it and film the lulz.

I tried taking a pic buts it's in a really awkward spot near my spine. I can barely touch it.

Crazy mate, good luck!

I'm hoping for the best man. Lumps in the skin are no joke.

Boil? Cyst?

Hopefully. If it is a spider bite, every hour untreated is bad.

Nawh, I've been aware of it for a week now. Not sure how long it's been there. Stopping by the health clinic in 2 hours and hopefully they wanna crack it open.

Probably a boil or Staff infection

I hate it when the entire staff gets infected, nobody works. A staph infection, on the other hand, is nasty.

Hand the clinician your cell phone for choppy vid posting.

I was actually contemplating this My phone takes decent video though if you steady the cam. BB Tour

I had a boil in my armpit a few months ago. I thought it was an impacted hair or something at first but it wouldn't go away.

I went to the quick care and they lanced it. They gave me a local but it really didn't do the job, it was one of the most painful things I've gone through, because they had to dig and dig and dig and dig and dig and dig.... Then they put a strip of gauze in to suck up all the pus and you have to pull it out a couple of days later. Quite, quite nasty.

Sweet mercy we need vids for sure

 

[SearchMaster]

Heh - sorry, no vids, but this is the Intranets, I'm sure you can find some.

The funniest part was the doctor (female) and nurse were both quite young and attractive. I'm a 42 y.o. married guy, but you still don't want to come across as a wuss to attractive women - it's just instinctive. So she's digging around trying to get all the "stuff" out and it hurts like a mother, and I'm trying to be mr. macho and act like nothing's happening.

 

[TallBill]

Eh, my pain tolerance is pretty high. Hopefully they try to get rid of it today, and not next week.

LOL DOH!!!:biggrin:

 

[TallBill]

Meh, it's an infected cyst. Taking antibiotics, but no cutting as of yet. I want to cut this fucker off.

Be bold, enlist the aid of a friend with steady hands.

Oh, I'm bold. I already asked and nobody will do it yet. I tried doing it myself. I think I have a super sharp knife somewhere.

I've helped a few friends in need with cysts before. I used a high quality razor blade sterilized in alcohol. Getting your hands on a surgical quality scalpel is cherry.

why the hell aren't there pics?
