Serious question.
I have a sebaceous cyst on my earlobe. It's been there about two years and is the size of a pea. It's not sore or painful, but it's quite obvious & I feel self conscious about it.
I also want to get my ears pierced (finally!) but can't while it's there.
The doctor won't do anything because it's purely cosmetic & causing me no problems at all.
So....I'm thinking.....what if I clean the area really well with antiseptic wipes, sterilise a craft scalpel, make a small cut over the top and squeeze the bugger out (making sure the sack comes too)?
I am a sporner and feel quite excited at the thought of squeezing it out () but obviously don't want to do myself a serious mischief.
What do you think?
